NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
0405 UTC Sat Nov 28 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0300 UTC.

...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...

The monsoon trough axis extends from 09N79W to 07N98W to 
09N108W. The ITCZ continues from 09N108W to 11N125W to beyond 
10N140W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted 
from 05N to 09N between 78W and 97W, and from 07N to 11N between
108W and 118W.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

A broad ridge prevails west of Baja California. Fresh to strong 
NW winds are north of 25N in the Gulf of California. Fresh to 
strong NW winds will prevail in the central Gulf of California 
through Sat, with seas expected to build to 6-7 ft from these 
winds. Gentle to moderate northerly winds will prevail west of 
the Baja California peninsula, with locally strong NE winds 
shooting through the gaps between the higher elevations of Baja 
and extending 90 nm offshore.

Large NW swell is impacting the waters west of Baja California,
with seas 8 ft or greater over these waters. Seas are peaking
near 10 ft west of Baja California Norte. Seas will gradually 
subside through Sat evening, and fall below 8 ft by early Sun. 

A strong cold front expected to move across the Gulf of Mexico 
this weekend will induce gale force winds across Tehuantepec 
beginning Mon. Winds are then expected to diminish below gale 
force on Tue.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and 
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...

Fresh NE to E winds will pulse each night in the Papagayo region.
Moderate S to SW winds are expected elsewhere south of 10N. 
Moderate cross-equatorial swell in the waters west of Central 
America will subside Sun through Tue. 

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

A ridge extends across the waters west of Baja California to 
near the Revillagigedo Islands. The gradient between the ridge 
and lower pressures associated with the convergence sone is 
supporting moderate to fresh trade winds north of 10N and west 
of 120W. Seas are generally 6-9 ft across this area. The NW 
swell will continue to spread southeastward and slowly decay 
through the weekend. Looking ahead, another pulse of NW swell is 
forecast to reach 30N140W Sat night through Sun night, with 
larger NW swell moving southeast into the area next week.
