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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0900 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Tropical Storm Barbara is centered near 16.9N 106.0W at 09/0900
UTC, moving west-northwest at 10 kt. Estimated minimum central
pressure is 994 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 60 kt with
gusts to 75 kt. Barbara is expected to reach hurricane strength 
later today. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is
active within 90 nm of the center of Barbara. Seas in excess of 
12 ft reach as far as 90 nm to the northeast of the center, with
maximum seas to 25 ft. Outer bands of Barbara may bring total rainfall
amounts of 2 to 4 inches to coastal portions of the Mexican states
of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco through today. This
rainfall may lead to localized areas of flooding and mudslides. 
Swells generated by Barbara will affect portions of the coast of 
southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These swells are 
likely to cause life- threatening surf and rip current 
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather 
office. 

Tropical Storm Cosme is centered near 14.2N 112.8W at 09/0900
UTC, moving west-northwest at 8 kt. Estimated minimum central
pressure is 999 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 45 kt with
gusts to 55 kt. Cosme will continue to move west-northwest to northwest 
during the next day or so. Scattered moderate convection is 
evident within 60 nm of the center of Cosme. Seas in excess of 
12 ft reach as far as 75 nm to the east and 30 nm to the west of 
the center.

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

Segments of the monsoon trough axis extends from 08N78W to 
08N85W to 12N95W, and again from 07N120W to 06N125W to 06N130W. 
The ITCZ extends from 06N130W to 07N135W to beyond 06N140W. 
Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection extends within
90 nm either side of the monsoon trough east of 100W. 

...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

Please read the Special Features section for information on
Tropical Storm Barbara and Tropical Tropical Storm Cosme.

Generally moderate NW winds persist north of 20N, except for
fresh winds near the coast north of Cabo San Lazaro. Seas off 
Baja California are 4 to 6 ft in NW swell. Gentle breezes and 
moderate seas persist off southern Mexico outside of the area 
impacted by T.S. Barbara which is mainly off Michoacan and Colima
currently. Light breezes and slight seas are noted over the Gulf
of California.

For the forecast, adverse marine conditions will expand along the
Colima and Jalisco coastlines westward across the offshore 
waters toward Cabo Corrientes through tonight. Mariners should 
continue to monitor the latest statements from the National 
Hurricane Center, and plan their routes accordingly to avoid the 
adverse marine conditions. The remnant lows of Barbara and Cosme 
will dissipate across the Revillagigedo Islands through mid week.
Rough seas across the Revillagigedo Islands will persist into 
early Thu. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure is 
forecast to develop late next week south of southern Mexico. 
Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual 
development of this system, and a tropical depression could form 
late this week.

...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, fresh to strong gap winds across the Gulf of 
Papagayo and the coast of Nicaragua will diminish today. Mainly 
gentle to moderate breezes will persist elsewhere. Moderate seas 
in cross equatorial swell will subside early next week. Abundant 
deep tropical moisture will persist across the region maintaining
a high chances of additional showers and thunderstorms well into
the upcoming week as a broad low pressure gyre forms west of 
Central America. 

...REMAINDER OF THE AREA....

Outside of the areas impacted by Cosme north of 10N and east of
110W, weak ridging persists north of 25N, supporting gentle to 
moderate winds west of 120W. Seas to 8 ft persist from 05N to 15N
west of 135W in a combination of moderate tradewind- induced 
waves and longer period SW swell. Moderate seas are noted 
elsewhere. 

For the forecast, little change is expected through the middle of
week outside of the area near Cosme as described in the Special 
Features section. Looking ahead, SW winds will increase into the 
monsoon trough east of 110W later in the week, with building 
seas. This pattern is associated with broad low pressure that may
develop off Central America and the far eastern Pacific. 
Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual 
development of this system, and a tropical depression could form 
late next week or next weekend.
