000 AXPZ20 KNHC 241605 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1605 UTC Tue Nov 24 2020 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1530 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 94W north of 06N, moving west at 10 to 15 kt. No significant convection is noted in association with this weak wave. The axis of a tropical wave is near 120W, from 06N to 16N, moving west around 10 kt. A 1009 mb low pressure center associated with this wave is located near 13N120W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 10N to 16N between 118W and 123W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 07N78W to 07N100W to the 1009 mb low at 13N120W to 11N125W. The ITCZ continues from 11N125W to beyond 08N140W. Scattered moderate to strong convection is noted from 06.5N to 09N between 98W and 106W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 07N-10N between 95W-105W and from 07N-11N west of 130W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 10N-14W from 110W-113W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Gap N to NE winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec have diminished to near gale force this morning, with strong winds and high seas diminishing tonight. Cryosat-2 altimeter measured 8 ft seas well offshore near 12N96W. Gentle to moderate NW winds over the Gulf of California and the waters west of the Baja California peninsula will persist through Thu. Thu night a cold front will usher fresh to strong NW winds over the Gulf of California through at least Sat night. Peak seas may reach near 8 ft Fri and Sat over the Gulf. Moderate NW swell to 8 ft combined seas west of Baja California Norte will diminish briefly Wed, before a large NW swell invades all of the Baja offshore waters Thu morning through Fri night. Peak seas are anticipated to be near 13 ft Thu night west of Baja California Norte. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Moderate NE to E winds will pulse to fresh each night over the Papagayo region through Fri night. Otherwise expect gentle to moderate S to SW winds south of 10N. No significant long-period swell will be impacting the Central American or equatorial waters through at least Sat night. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A broad ridge dominates the waters north of 15N and west of 115W. The pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure within the monsoon trough and in the vicinity of the ITCZ is producing fresh to locally strong tradewinds across the area waters north of 08N and west of 122W. Seas are generally 7-10 ft across this area. These conditions will change little through Wed. Fresh NW swell has propagated into the far NW waters, with seas to 8 ft and will spread southeastward through mid week to maintain seas near 8 ft across the northern waters north of 26N. Large NW swell will then move into the northern waters late Wed. Seas will peak 10-16 ft over the northern waters N of 20N and E of 130W early Thu into Fri. $$ Landsea
