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
0930 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

An area of low pressure is well to the SW of the southern tip of
Baja California along the monsoon trough. Low pressure of 1006
mb, Invest-EP90, is along the trough near 09.5N127W. Satellite 
imagery shows numerous strong convection from 06N to 10N between 
125W and 128W, and from 08N to 10N between 128W and 131W. This 
area of low pressure has become slightly better defined since 
yesterday as noted in more pronounced cyclonic turning of the 
clouds within this area. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression 
is expected to form during the next day or two while the system 
moves westward or west-northwestward across the western portion 
of the eastern Pacific. The low now has a high chance of 
tropical cyclone formation within the next 48 hours.

Please refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at 
wwww.hurricanes.gov for more details.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

The southern portion of a tropical wave axis is along 83W N of 
03N, moving westward at around 5 kt. Isolated showers and
thunderstorms are within 60 nm east of the wave axis from 06N to
09N, and within 30 nm west of the wave axis from 06N to 08N.

A tropical wave has its axis along 108W from 04N to 16N, moving 
westward near 05 kt. Scattered moderate within 60 nm west of 
the wave from 07N to 08N.

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

The monsoon trough axis extends from northwest Colombia
southwestward to 10N85W to 11N100W to 12N110W to low pressure 
near 09N127.5W 1006 mb to 09N131W to low pressure near 06N137W 
1009 mb and to beyond 05N140W. Numerous strong convection is 
within 180 nm N of the trough between 131W-134W. Scattered
moderate to strong convection is within 30 nm S of the trough 
between 84W and 86W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong 
convection is seen from 03N to 09N between 116W-122W, and 
within 60 nm N of the trough between 118W-120W. SCattered 
moderate convection is within 180 nm N of the trough between 
134W-138W. 

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

A broad surface ridge that is anchored by a 1026 mb high center 
N of the area near 34N134W stretches southeastward to near 
20N118W. The pressure gradient between the ridge and a surface 
trough along the Gulf of California is keeping mostly moderate NW
to N winds over the Baja California offshore waters as noted in 
an overnight Ascat satellite data pass. NW swell is producing 
seas to 8 ft over the waters N of Cabo San Lazaro. Inside the Gulf 
of California, light to gentle winds remain across just about the 
entire Gulf, except for gentle to moderate S to SW winds N of 30N as 
seen in an overnight Ascat satellite data pass. Seas of 2 to 4 ft 
are in the Gulf, with the exception of higher seas of 4 to 6 ft in S 
to SW swell near the Gulf entrance. An overnight altimeter satellite 
data pass capture the seas in the central and southern sections of 
the Gulf. For the remainder of the offshore waters, light to gentle 
winds dominate along with 5 to 7 ft seas primarily in long-period S 
to SW swell, including the Gulf of Tehuantepec.

For the forecast, the NW swell will subside today. Another NW
swell set will move through these same waters from Thu through 
early on Sat, decaying afterward. Looking ahead, an area of low 
pressure is likely to form offshore of Central America and 
southern Mexico late this week or over the weekend. Environmental
conditions appear favorable for some development of this system 
thereafter, and a tropical depression could form by early next 
week while it moves westward to northwestward. 

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

Mainly light and variable winds are over the Central American 
offshore waters under a weak pressure pattern along with 
moderate seas of 5 to 7 ft in long-period S to SW swell. The
exception is moderate gap winds in the Papagayo region. Gentle 
south to southeast winds along with seas of 5 to 7 ft in long- 
period SW swell are over the waters S of the monsoon trough between 
the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. Latest altimeter satellite data 
passes show the 5 to 7 ft seas.

For the forecast, the weak pressure pattern in place will 
provide for generally light to gentle winds through the period, 
except for nocturnal pulses of moderate to fresh gap winds across
the Papagayo region. Long period SW swell is forecast to enter the 
southern Galapagos adjacent waters tonight and begin to subside Thu 
afternoon. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure is likely to form 
offshore of Central America and southern Mexico late this week or 
over the weekend. Environmental conditions appear favorable for some 
development of this system thereafter, and a tropical depression 
could form by early next week while it moves westward to 
northwestward.

...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

Please see the Special Features section for information on low
pressure in the western portion of basin along the monsoon 
trough that is expected to become a tropical depression during 
the next couple of days.

High pressure dominates waters N of the monsoon trough, with the
pressure gradient between the high pressure and lower pressure 
within the monsoon trough generally allowing for moderate to 
locally fresh trade winds N of the monsoon trough, except for 
gentle NE winds from about 24N to 29N between 120W and 128W, and 
from 20N to 30N between 117W and 120W. Seas over these waters 
are in the 7 to 9 ft range in a mix of trade wind waves and NW to
N swell. Gentle to locally moderate winds are S of the monsoon 
trough. Seas over these waters are generally 5 to 7 ft primarily 
in N swell, except for slightly higher seas of 6 to 8 ft S of 
about 14N and W of 120W as indicated by recent altimeter 
satellite data passes over this part of the discussion domain.

The aforementioned high pressure will weaken some toward the end of 
the week as the Special Features low pressure system tracks to the 
NW over the western portion of the area resulting in a weakening of 
the trade winds E of about 130W, becoming light and variable from 
04N to 12N between 120W and 130W. Seas over these waters are 
forecast to subside to around 5 to 7 ft by early Thu. Mostly fresh 
trade winds are expected elsewhere outside the Special Features low, 
namely W of 125W and N of about 08N along with seas of 7 to 9 ft in 
merging NE and SW long-period swell Wed through Fri.
