000 AXPZ20 KNHC 010335 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Thu Jul 1 2021 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from 03.4S to 30N, east of 120W including the Gulf of California, and from the Equator to 30N, between 120W and 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 0310 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave is near 85W north of 02N across portions of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras, moving W at around 10 kt. The wave is forecast to merge with another wave along 80W tonight. Numerous moderate to strong convection, scattered tstms and gust to gale force winds are N of 02N E of 90W. A tropical wave is near 100W north of 02N to southern Mexico, moving W at 5 to 10 kt. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from 05N to 09N between 90W and 100W, and from 05N to 12N between 100W and 111W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 09N84W to 13N110W to 10N130W to 09N133W. The ITCZ continues from 09N133W to 08N140W. Aside the convection associated with the tropical waves, scattered moderate convection is from 08N to 13N between 110W and 130W, and from 06N to 09N W of 135W. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A weak pressure gradient supports mainly light to gentle NW-N winds west of the Baja California peninsula with locally moderate winds along the coast. Seas are in the 3 to 6 ft range in mixed long period swell. Fresh to strong SE winds in the northern Gulf of California will diminish to moderate winds Thu morning with seas subsiding from 5 ft to 3 ft. Mainly light to gentle variable winds with seas in the 4 to 6 ft are elsewhere from Chiapas to Jalisco offshore waters. For the forecast, southerly moderate flow in the Gulf of California will diminish Thu as the Remnants of Enrique completely dissipate. Light to gentle variable winds will dominate the remainder offshore waters through the end of the weekend. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, and WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Moderate to locally fresh NE to E winds are over the Papagayo region with seas to 6 ft. Light to gentle variable winds are elsewhere north of the monsoon trough with seas 3 to 5 ft in mixed long period swell. Moderate S-SW winds with seas of 4 to 6 ft dominate the waters south of the monsoon trough. Two tropical waves, one crossing Costa Rica and another moving across Panama will merge tonight. Heavy showers and tstms, and gust to gale force winds are in the vicinity of these waves as indicated by satellite imagery and scatterometer data. See the tropical waves section for further details. For the forecast, moderate to locally fresh winds will continue in the Papagayo region through Fri with gentle to moderate winds elsewhere north of the monsoon trough continuing through the end of the weekend. Except in the area of convection associated with the tropical waves, gentle to moderate southerly flow will prevail south of the monsoon trough through Sun night. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Please see the section above for details on the Remnants of Enrique located over the southern Gulf of California and Baja California Sur. A surface trough is analyzed from 22N120W to 18N128W. Otherwise, a broad surface ridge covers the waters north of the convergence zone. Moderate to fresh N-NE flow prevails north of 20N and west of 130W, with gentle to moderate winds elsewhere north of the convergence zone. Moderate to fresh southerly flow prevails south of the convergence zone. Seas are mainly in the 5 to 7 ft range in mixed long period swell. For the forecast, the pressure gradient will weaken as the Remnants of Enrique completely dissipate while shifting W-NW allowing for winds to diminish slightly Thu. The surface trough north of the convergence zone will linger through the end of the week. Little change in winds is then forecast for the remainder of the week into the weekend. A moderate southerly swell will reach the equator by the end of the week into the weekend, building seas to around 8 ft there. $$ Ramos
