Offshore Southern and Southwestern Mexico (EP91):
The broad and elongated cyclonic circulation offshore of south
and southwestern Mexico has been classified as Tropical
Depression Two-E this morning. Recent satellite scatterometer
data showed a closed circulation offshore of Acapulco, and
numerous bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms are showing
improved organization. At 1500 UTC, the center of T.D. Two-E was
located near 15.5N 99.9W, moving toward the NE at 5 kt. Maximum
sustained winds are 30 kt with gusts to 40 kt. Estimated minimum
central pressure is 1005 mb. Peak seas are near 3.5 m or 11.5 ft,
across southern portions of the circulation. Numerous bands of
moderate to strong convection surround this large circulation
within 270 nm, and extend inland along the coasts of Guerrero and
Oaxaca. T.D. Two-E is expected to move slowly northward and to the
Mexican coastline within the next day or so. Some strengthening is
likely, however the broad circulation of this system may make any
rapid intensification difficult. Heavy rainfall associated with this
system will impact portions of southern Mexico during the next few
days, and likely produce like threatening flooding and mudslides.
Large southern hemispheric SW swell will enter the area waters Sun
night through Mon and combine with the large wind generated waves
from Two-E to create extremely rough and dangerous seas in the
coastal zone. Refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at
www.hurricanes.gov for updates.
Offshore of Central America:
Scattered to numerous heavy showers and thunderstorms associated
with an elongated area of low pressure along the monsoon trough
offshore of Central America continues this morning, from western
Colombia to the offshore waters south of Guatemala. Fresh to strong
monsoonal westerly winds are increasing to the south of this system,
and S of 10N. Environmental conditions remains conducive for
development and a tropical depression is likely to form during the
next day or two, while the system moves slowly northward toward the
coast of Central America. Interests along the Pacific coasts of
northwestern Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador should
monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development,
heavy rainfall and life- threatening flash flooding are possible
across portions of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala
through early next week. Currently, this system has a high chance of
tropical cyclone formation in the next 7 days. Refer to the latest
NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at www.hurricanes.gov for updates.
...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...
A monsoon trough extends from 10.5N74.5W to 1008 mb low pres near
11.5N88.5W to 14N97W, then resumes from 09.5N104W to 07N124W to
09N132W. Scattered moderate to strong convection is noted from 01N
to 10N E of 90W. Numerous moderate to scattered strong convection
dominates from 01S to 12.5N E of 93W, and from 06N to 18N between
93W and 105W. Scattered to numerous moderate isolated strong
convection is seen from 05N to 10N between 105W and 118W.
...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...
A broad ridge extends southeastward from a 1028 mb high
northeast of the Hawaiian Islands near 35N148W to west of the
Revillagigedo Islands near 18N126W. Broad low pressure extends
from southern California south-southwestward across Baja Norte.
This pattern is producing gentle to moderate NW winds with 6 to
7 ft seas in mixed NW and SW swell across waters near Baja
California, the Revillagigedo Islands and central Mexico, and
higher seas 7 to 9 ft in N swell across the outer waters of Baja
Norte. Fresh to locally strong NW to W winds with locally higher
seas are present just south of Cabo San Jose. Tropical
Depression Two-E has formed offshore of Acapulco, within a broad
and larger cyclonic circulation offshore of southern Mexico. This
system is producing fresh to strong monsoonal SW to W winds
with 7 to 10 ft seas in large SW swell offshore of southern
Mexico. The entire area E of 104W and Michoacan is dominated by
numerous bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms.
For the forecast, fresh to locally strong S to SW winds are
expected in the northern Gulf of California until tonight. A
broad surface ridge will sustain gentle to moderate NW winds near
Baja Norte until Mon evening, and Baja Sur and the Revillagigedo
Islands through Wed. The exception will be fresh to locally strong
NW to W winds persisting just south of Cabo San Jose through Tue
evening. From Mon night through Tue night, a frontal system moving
into southern California is going to bring moderate to fresh NW
winds, and moderate to rough seas off Baja Norte. Afterward, the
combination of merging NW and S-SW swell will prolong moderate to
rough seas west of Baja Norte into midweek next week, and impact
waters near Baja Sur and the Revillagigedo Islands early Mon through
Wed. T.D. Two-E and the associated wet and windy monsoonal system it
is embedded within will shift northward toward the coast through Sun
night and then inland on Mon, with large SW swell combining with
rough wind driven seas producing dangerous marine conditions.
....OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA,
AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...
Clusters of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
across the near and offshore waters of Central America are
associated with an active monsoon trough, and a developing area
of low pressure along 8.5W. Please, see the Special Features
section for more details.
A weak surface pressure pattern dominates the region. Recent
satellite scatterometer data indicated that a weak low pressure
center is beginning to develop along 88.5W, while the monsoon
trough has lifted to near 11N. Moderate to fresh SW to W winds
prevail across most of the area south of the trough, except fresh
to strong S of the developing low. Gentle to moderate winds are
generally N of the trough. Seas of 6 to 9 ft in SW swell
dominate the offshore waters of Central America W of 85W, and are 5
to 7 ft E of 85W. New southern hemispheric SW swell has begun to
reach the waters between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands,
producing seas of 7 to 9 ft.
For the forecast, new large SW swell will surge across the
Central America offshore waters today through early Tue. As a
result, moderate seas will quickly become rough by this evening,
and then very rough by Mon morning, building to around 11 ft
between Ecuador and the Galapagos. At the same time, convergent
monsoonal winds will generate periods of heavy showers and strong
thunderstorms across the regional offshore waters at least into
early next week. Developing low pressure south of El Salvador and
Guatemala will gradually strengthen the monsoonal SW to W winds
across the offshore waters of Central America through Mon
evening. Therefore, anticipate moderate to fresh SW to W winds
across the southern offshore waters to become fresh to strong by
this afternoon, and then strong to near-gale while expanding
northward on Mon. For offshore waters from Costa Rica
southwestward to near the Galapagos Islands, gentle to moderate
southerly winds along with rough seas in SW swell will prevail
through Wed.
...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...
Please see the Special Features section for information on
Tropical Depression Amanda located across the Tropical Pacific W
of 130W.
A broad ridge extends southeastward from a 1028 mb high
northeast of the Hawaiian Islands near 34N148W to west of the
Revillagigedo Islands near 18N126W. The pressure gradient between
the ridge and T.D. Amanda is promoting moderate to fresh NE to E
winds along with 6 to 8 ft seas across the waters north of 12N
and W of 130W, except seas are reaching 8 to 10 ft near Amanda.
Enhanced by a surface trough to the north, moderate to fresh N
winds and seas of 8 to 10 ft are found north of 24N between 120W
and 130W. Mainly gentle winds with seas at 6 to 7 ft in mixed NW
and SW swells prevail across the remaining waters north of the
monsoon trough and east of 130W. South of the monsoon trough and
west of 120W, gentle to moderate SE to SW winds and 7 to 10 ft
seas in large SW swell are evident. Fresh to strong SW to W
monsoonal winds and 8 to 13 ft seas in new SW swell are moving
into the waters south of the monsoon trough to near the Equator
and east of 120W. Gentle to moderate SE to SW winds and seas of 9
to 12 ft in SW swell prevail the rest of the waters south of the
Equator.
For the forecast, the aforementioned high pressure will drift
westward and weaken slightly across the area through Mon as
Amanda tracks southwestward over the western portion of the
area, resulting in gradually diminishing winds across the trade
wind zone. Larger S to SW will move N of the equator this
morning and through the regional waters through early next week,
reaching to 20N tonight through Mon. Northerly swell in the
north-central waters will produce seas of 7 to 10 ft for the next
several days. Fresh to strong monsoonal SW to W winds should
gradually shift northward tonight through Mon evening. 10 to 12
ft seas will peak between 12 and 14 ft tonight through Mon night
before gradually subsiding Tue through Wed.
