Corrected Offshore Waters Within 250 nm of Mexico section

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
0315 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Recently named Tropical Depression Five-E is centered near 11.2N
92.6W at 17/0300 UTC, moving west-northwest at 10 kt. Estimated 
minimum central pressure is 1007 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed
is 30 kt with gusts to 40 kt. Latest satellite imagery shows deep
convection becoming concentrated primarily north and near the 
system center. This convection is appearing to be developing 
into banding-type features, and over the system pattern is 
gradually becoming more symmetrical with time. The noted 
convection within the forming banding features consists of the 
scattered to numerous moderate to strong intensity-type from 13N 
to 15N between 87W and 94W. Numerous moderate to isolated strong 
convection is within 90 nm of the center in the NE quadrant and 
within 60 nm of the center in the N quadrant. Numerous moderate 
to isolated strong convection is from 11N to 14N between 94W and 
95W. Scattered moderate convection is within 120 nm of the system
center in the SW quadrant. Seas are presently below 12 ft (4 m),
however, rough seas prevail within 30 nm in the northern 
semicircle of the depression. A slower west-northwest to 
northwest motion is expected during the next few days. On the 
forecast track, the system is expected to approach the coast of 
southern Mexico by late Wed. Strengthening is forecast, and the 
system is expected to become a tropical storm by early Tue and a 
hurricane on Wed. Tropical Depression Five-E may produce rainfall
totals of 2 to 4 inches, with maximum totals of 6 inches, across
coastal sections of El Salvador, Guatemala and the Mexican 
states of Chiapas, Tabasco and Veracruz. Rainfall totals of 4 to 
8 inches, with maximum totals of 12 inches, are possible across 
the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Guerrero. This rainfall may 
produce life threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in 
areas of steep terrain. Swells generated by the system are 
expected to begin affecting the coast of southern Mexico in a day
or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf 
and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your 
local weather office.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

The southern portion of a tropical wave extends from the
Caribbean Sea southward along 82W to across western Panama N of 
05N, moving westward around 10 kt. Numerous moderate to isolated 
strong convection is within 180 nm west of the wave from 05N 
to 09N.

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

The monsoon trough axis extends from northwest Colombia to the 
coast of Panama near 09N84W, and continues to 10N88W. It resumes 
west-southwest of Tropical Depression Five-E near 12N98W and 
continues to 12N110W to 09N123W, where it transitions to the 
ITCZ and continues to 09N130W and to 10N140W. Aside from the 
convection related to Tropical Depression Five-E, scattered 
moderate convection is within 60 nm of the ITCZ between 130W-
132W, within 60 north of the trough between 112W-114W and within 
60 nm south of the ITCZ west of 139W.

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

recently named Tropical Depression Five-E.

Elsewhere, the remnant low of Dalila is analyzed with a pressure
of 1011 mb near 19N112W. Isolated showers are possible within 60
nm of the low in the SE quadrant. Moderate to fresh northwest to
north winds are from 18N to 20N between 113W and 114W along with
seas of 5 to 6 ft. High pressure is present west of Baja 
California with moderate or weaker winds. Moderate to fresh 
southerly winds are over the Gulf of California along with seas 
of 2 to 4 ft, except for slightly higher seas of 3 to 5 ft over 
the southern part of the Gulf. Moderate seas prevail across the 
offshore waters away from the remnants of Dalila. In the Gulf of 
California, moderate seas are in the southern Gulf, and slight 
seas elsewhere.

For the forecast, other than the impacted areas related to 
Tropical Depression Five-E, the remnants of Dalila will continue
to spin down and dissipate over the next couple of days while 
associated winds and seas diminish. Elsewhere, high pressure 
well northwest of the area will support pulsing moderate to fresh
northwest to north winds across the Baja California Norte 
offshore waters through the rest of the week. Rough northwest to 
north swell will build over the Baja waters through the rest of 
the week. The swell will be reinforced by a new set of northwest 
to north starting Fri. Moderate to fresh southerly winds will 
prevail across the Gulf of California through Tue. Winds will be 
mainly moderate or weaker elsewhere during the period.

...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, 
AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...

Please read the Special Features section for details on recently
named Tropical Depression Five-E.

Elsewhere, winds are moderate or weaker elsewhere from offshore 
Colombia northward, with moderate seas. Moderate to fresh 
southerly winds are offshore Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands, 
with moderate to rough seas in southerly swell.

For the forecast, other than Tropical Depression Five-E, which 
may bring increasing winds and seas as well as heavy rainfall 
described above, moderate to fresh winds will remain offshore 
Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands through the week. Winds will be 
moderate or weaker offshore Colombia northward, except pulse to 
moderate to fresh in the Papagayo region starting Thu morning. 
Meanwhile, moderate seas off Ecuador will prevails through the 
rest of the week. Moderate seas will be mainly offshore Colombia 
northward through Wed, except higher near Tropical Cyclone 
Five-E, subsiding afterward.

...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

Please read the Special Features section for information on
recently named Tropical Depression Five-E.

Broad and weak ridging extend from a high well northwest of the 
discussion area to across the open waters north of the monsoon 
trough and ITCZ and west of the remnants of Dalila centered near 
19N110.5W. Winds are mainly moderate or weaker across the open 
waters, both north and south of the monsoon trough and ITCZ, 
locally fresh south of the monsoon trough and ITCZ. Seas are 
mainly moderate across the open waters in mixed southerly and 
northerly swells.

For the forecast, high pressure north of the area will sink
slightly southward through the week. Moderate to fresh northeast 
to east winds over the northwest part of the area will expand 
in coverage through the end of the week.  A slight increase in 
seas is expected across the northern waters east of 130W through
Thu as new north to northeast well moves into the regional 
waters, spreading west-southwestward to 140W by the end of the 
week.
