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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
2145 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection has increased
a little on the eastern side of a broad trough of low pressure
that is located a couple of hundred miles south of southern
Mexico. Low pressure (Invest EP92) of 1008 mb is analyzed along
the trough near 11N97W. A convectively induced tight gradient is
bringing strong east to southeast winds between the low pressure
and the coast of Mexico, or from 11N to 16N between 93W and 98W
as noted in a recent scatterometer satellite data pass over that
part of the forecast waters. Seas are 5 to 8 ft with these winds
as shown in the most recent altimeter satellite data pass.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional
development, and a short-lived tropical depression is likely to
form over the weekend while the system moves generally west-
northwestward just off the coast of Mexico possibly reaching near
Socorro Island early next week. Interests in southern and
southwestern Mexico should monitor the progress of this system.
Expect winds to increase and seas to build across the offshore
waters of southern Mexico between Puerto Angel and Cabo
Corrientes Sat through Sun. This system has a medium chance of
becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Please
refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at
www.hurricanes.gov for more details.
A low pressure system (Invest EP91) located several hundred
miles south of southwestern Mexico, or near 10N106W with a
pressure of 1007 mb is gradually becoming better defined.
Associated scattered moderate convection is limited over
the area from 08N to 11N between 103W and 108W. The most
recent altimeter satellite data pass indicated seas to
around 8 ft within 180 nm to the southwest of the low pressure.
Gradual development of this system is expected, and a tropical
depression is likely to form over the weekend or early next week
while the system moves generally west-northwestward. This system
has a medium chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the
next 48 hours. Please refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather
Outlook at www.hurricanes.gov for more details.
...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...
The monsoon trough axis extends from NW Colombia to northern
Panama and to 09N84W to 11N97W to 13N101W to 09N110W to 08N120W
to 07N126W, where it transitions to the ITCZ and continues to
08N130W to beyond 07N140W. Aside from convection associated with
the Special Features areas, scattered moderate convection is
seen within 120 nm south of the trough between 103W-114W, also
within 60 nm south of the trough between 120W-123W, and within
60 nm south of the ITCZ between 128W-140W.
...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...
Please read the Special Features section for information on two
areas of low pressure with potential for tropical cyclone
development.
A weak pressure pattern in place is allowing for generally
gentle to moderate NW to N winds offshore Baja California,
with occasional fresh winds south of Punta Eugenia. Light to
gentle winds are elsewhere off southern Mexico and in the Gulf
of California. Combined seas are 4 to 6 ft off Baja California
primarily in NW swell, and 3 to 5 ft primarily in long-period SW
swell off southern Mexico, with the exception of the strong
winds related to Invest EP92 as described above under Special
Features. Seas of 2 to 4 ft are over the Gulf of California.
For the forecast, the main issue will be the potential for
a short-lived tropical depression to form off southern Mexico
described in the Special Features section. Expect fresh to strong
winds with building seas over the offshore waters off western
Oaxaca and Guerrero starting this evening, with the range of
these seas of 7 to 10 ft in south to southwest swell.
These adverse conditions will expand westward across the offshore
waters toward Cabo Corrientes through Sun as low pressure
farther to the south off the coast possibly becomes a tropical
depression. Mariners should continue to monitor the latest
statements from the National Hurricane Center on the possible
tropical cyclone development. Gentle to moderate winds and
seas of 5 to 7 ft in south to southwest swell are expected
elsewhere outside the impacted waters of the Special Feature low
pressure (Invest EP91) through the weekend.
...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA,
AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...
A weak pressure gradient remains over the area resulting
generally in gentle to moderate southerly winds south of the
monsoon trough, and light to gentle winds to the north of it.
Cross-equatorial southwest swell is producing moderate seas
across the offshore forecast waters.
For the forecast, gentle to moderate south to southwest winds
will occur south of the monsoon trough through this weekend, with
mainly gentle winds expected to the north, except for moderate
to fresh winds off Nicaragua tonight and Sat night. Moderate seas
in cross- equatorial swell are likely over the regional waters
into this weekend. Abundant deep tropical moisture will persist
across the region maintaining a high likelihood of additional
showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. On Wed and Wed
night, moderate to fresh W to NW monsoon gyre winds are expected
mainly across the western portions of the offshore zones along
with an increase in moisture.
...REMAINDER OF THE AREA....
Strong high pressure of 1031 mb is located well north of the
area near 41N142W, while a persistent trough, supported by broad
upper troughing, is analyzed from a 1011 mb low that is offshore
central California southwestward to 30N124W and continuing to
near 22N131W. A tight pressure gradient between ridging
associated to the 1031 mb high and the trough is resulting in
fresh northeast winds north of about 24N and west of a line from
30N129W to 24N156W as indicated in the latest scatterometer
satellite data pass across that part of the area. Both Sofar
spotter buoy data, and a recent altimeter satellite data pass
reveal seas of 8 to 9 ft in northeast swell with these winds.
Moderate to fresh northeast winds are over the western part of
the area from about 07N to 12N west of 135W. Seas with these
winds are 8 ft in north to northeast swell. Elsewhere, mainly
gentle to moderate winds are noted along with 5 to 7 ft seas in
a mix of north and southwest swell.
For the forecast, guidance indicates that a trough will form
within the area of the moderate to fresh north to northeast
winds during the weekend and shift westward. The gradient
between the trough and the high pressure to the north should
extend the duration of the moderate to fresh northeast winds
through late in the weekend, and possibly into early Mon even
as the trough shifts west of 140W. The seas to 8 ft in north
to northeast swell with these winds appear that they will linger
as well. The 8 to 9 ft seas in northeast swell over the northwest
part of the are should decay by early Sat.
