000 AXPZ20 KNHC 242207 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 2205 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 2130 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 121W, from 06N to 17N, moving west around 10 kt. A 1009 mb low pressure center associated with this wave is located near 14N121W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 14N to 17N between 118W and 121W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 07N78W to to 10N90W to 08N100W to the 1009 mb low at 14N121W to 11N126W. The ITCZ continues from 11N126W to beyond 08N140W. Widely scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from 08N-15N between 100W- 113W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong conveciton is noted from 07N-11N between 130W-140W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Moderate to strong NE gap winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec will continue during late night and early morning hours through Fri morning. Peak seas of 9 ft will diminish to below 8 ft tonight as the extent of the gap winds becomes more limited in fetch. 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 Sun night. Peak seas are anticipated to reach near 8 ft Fri through Sun. Moderate NW swell 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 Sun night. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A broad ridge extends from a 1036 mb high near 42N149W southeastward to 30N128W to 15N100W. The pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure within the monsoon trough and in the vicinity of the ITCZ is producing moderate to fresh NE trades across the area waters north of 10N and west of 115W, as seen by recent scatterometer passes. Seas are generally 7-9 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
