000 AXPZ20 KNHC 011529 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1605 UTC Sun Jun 1 2025 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1515 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The southern portion of a western Caribbean Sea tropical wave axis that is along 84W extends southward across Pacific waters to near 05N. It is moving westward at about 15 kt. No significant convection is presently noted. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from the coast of Costa Rica near 10N85W to 11N105W and to 09N120W. The ITCZ stretches from 09N120W to beyond 07N140W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is observed north of 03N and east of 85W. Scattered moderate convection is present from 02N to 12N and between 93W and 119W and also from 04N to 08N and west of 133W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... The low-level cyclonic swirl associated with the remnants of Alvin is moving into the southern portion of the Gulf of California as the system progresses northward. No significant convection is noted with this feature. Moderate to fresh cyclonic winds are observed north of 21N and east of 113W. Meanwhile, an upper level low off Baja California Norte is producing scattered showers affecting the northern portion of the state and also NW Sonora. The remainder of the Mexican offshore waters are under the influence of a weak pressure gradient that maintains moderate or weaker winds, including in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Long-period, southerly swell producing seas of 6-9 ft (2-3 m) is present across much of the Mexican offshore waters, except for slight to moderate seas in the northern and central Gulf of California. The highest seas are noted near 14N103W. For the forecast, the remnant low pressure of Alvin will continue moving northward today while losing its identity, however, lingering swell from former Alvin will continue to impact portions of the coasts of west-central Mexico and the southern Baja California Peninsula today. Elsewhere, moderate to locally rough seas due to long-period SW will continue over the offshore waters of southwestern Mexico through Mon before subsiding. Long-period NW swell will induce rough seas offshore of Baja California Norte early next week, then subside during the middle part of the week. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of the coasts of Central America and southern Mexico by the middle part of the upcoming week. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system thereafter, and a tropical depression could form late in the week while it moves generally westward to west- northwestward. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Scattered showers and thunderstorms are seen on satellite imagery off the coasts of Panama and Colombia. Strong gusty winds, frequent lightning strikes and suddenly higher seas may be possible with this activity. The subtropical ridge remains displaced by a frontal boundary well north of the area, resulting in a weak pressure gradient across the offshore waters of Central America and NW South America. Moderate southerly winds are noted south of 05N, while light to gentle winds are present elsewhere. A long-period, southerly swell is producing seas of 6-8 ft (2-2.5 m) across much of the basin, except for seas of 3-6 ft (1-2 m) in the Gulf of Panama. For the forecast, long-period southern hemispheric swell will propagate northeastward through the equatorial waters through the rest of the weekend, promoting rough seas offshore of Ecuador and well offshore of Guatemala and El Salvador today. Seas will subside early next week. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of the coasts of Central America and southern Mexico by the middle part of the upcoming week. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system thereafter, and a tropical depression could form late in the week while it moves generally westward to west-northwestward. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA.... Strong high pressure of 1038 mb is analyzed well N of the area, with its associated ridging reaching south-southeastward to near 20N125W. The associated tight gradient is driving a swath of fresh N-NE winds over the NW and western sections of the area to the west of a line from near 30N125W to 20N135W and to 18N140W. Seas are 6-9 ft (2-3 m) in mixed NE and NW swell with these winds. Moderate to fresh trades are present over the far western part of the area from 10N to 18N W of 130W along with seas to 7 ft (2 m) in decaying N to NE swell. Elsewhere, southern hemispheric swell is producing seas to 9 ft (3 m) roughly S of 23N and east of 124W. Moderate to locally fresh southerly winds are noted south of the monsoon trough and ITCZ. For the forecast, the southern hemispheric cross-equatorial swell will decay through Mon. The fresh N to NE winds over the NW part of the area are forecast to change little through the middle part of the upcoming week. Strong NE winds may reach to near 30N between 129W and 135W along with building seas to 12 ft (4 m). $$ Delgado
