234 AXPZ20 KNHC 050240 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Sat Jul 5 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0200 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... South of Southern Mexico: A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms is centered a few hundred miles south of southwestern Mexico. Gradual development of this system is anticipated during the next few days, and a tropical depression is expected to form late this weekend or early next week while it moves generally west- northwestward well off the coast of Mexico. There is a medium chance of tropical formation within the next two days, and a high chance within the next seven days. Please refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at wwww.hurricanes.gov for more details. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 86W, from 04N northward, moving west around 10 kt. Nearby convection is noted in the ITCZ/monsoon trough section below. The axis of a tropical wave is near 104W, from 05N northward, moving west around 10 to 15 kt. An area of low pressure centered near 13.5N104W is noted where the wave axis intersects the monsoon trough. Please see SPECIAL FEATURES above for more on this feature. Nearby convection is noted in the ITCZ/monsoon trough section below. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 09N84W to 13N104W to 08N120W. The ITCZ continues from 08N120W to beyond 06N140W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from 04N to 10N E of 93W, and from 12N to 17N between 99W and 111W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 05N to 09N between 132W and 140W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please see the SPECIAL FEATURES section for information on the potential for tropical cyclone development off the coast of southern Mexico this weekend or early next week. The remnant low of Flossie is moving through the Baja California Sur waters, centered near 24N117W. Moderate winds, and seas of 6 to 8 ft are noted near this system. Moderate to fresh winds, and seas of 8 to 9 ft are noted in the vicinity of a tropical wave and low pressure discussed above. Gentle to moderate winds, and seas of 2 to 3 ft are in the Gulf of California. Light to gentle winds, and seas of 5 to 6 ft, prevail elsewhere. For the forecast, the remnant low of Flossie will move northwestward through the Baja California Sur waters tonight, producing mainly moderate winds and rough seas over these waters. The low will dissipate Sat, with winds and seas decreasing. Elsewhere, fresh to occasionally strong winds and rough seas are expected off the coast of southern Mexico this weekend as an area of low pressure moves generally west- northwestward well off the coast of Mexico. Gradual development of this system is anticipated during the next few days, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this weekend or early next week. There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation within the next two days, and a high chance within the next seven days. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Light to gentle winds are noted N of the monsoon trough, with gentle to moderate winds S of the monsoon trough. Seas are in the 5-6 ft range, except S and SW of the Galapagos Islands where seas are reaching 7 ft. For the forecast, moderate E winds will pulse in the Gulf of Papagayo this weekend before strengthening early next week. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds will prevail. Moderate seas in S to SW swell will prevail over the regional waters. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... High pressure prevails over the waters N of 20N. The pressure gradient between this area of high pressure, and lower pressure in the vicinity of the ITCZ is supporting gentle to moderate winds N of the ITCZ. Light to gentle winds prevail N of the monsoon trough. Gentle to moderate winds are noted S of the monsoon trough and ITCZ. Seas are in the 6-8 ft range. For the forecast, moderate to fresh NE winds are expected north of the monsoon trough and ITCZ into early next week. Rough seas in the north- central waters, north of 25N between 120W and 130W, will subside this evening. South of the monsoon trough, rough seas in S to SW swell will slowly subside by Sat morning. Fresh to occasionally strong winds and rough seas will develop over the waters E of 120W this weekend as a tropical wave, and associated low pressure, moves generally west- northwestward well off the coast of Mexico. Please see above for more on the potential for tropical cyclone development associated with this system. $$ AL
