700 AXPZ20 KNHC 071601 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1605 UTC Sat Jun 07 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1545 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Eastern Pacific Gale Warning: Low pressure of 1005 mb is near 13N99W, or about 130 nm off the coast of southern Mexico. Satellite imagery shows that numerous moderate to strong convection continue to become better organized from 11N to 16N between 93W and 101W. Strong to gale force winds and seas of 8 to 11 ft are within 90 nm of the coast of western Oaxaca and Guerrero this morning accompanied by rough seas. Recent satellite data suggest that the system does not yet have a well- defined circulation. Environmental conditions are conducive for further development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form during the next day or two as the system moves west-northwestward just off the coast of Mexico, and will possibly reach near Socorro Island early next week. Locally heavy rains are possible along portions of the southwestern coast of Mexico during the next couple of days, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system. Gale conditions and rough to very rough seas are forecast for the offshore waters of southern and western Mexico through early Mon. This system has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Please refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at www.hurricanes.gov for more details. A low pressure system (Invest EP91) is located about 520 nm southwest of the southwestern coast of Mexico near 10N109W with a a pressure of 1007 mb. Satellite imagery shows disorganized scattered moderate convection from 07N to 14N between 107W and 112W. Seas to 8 ft are within about 270 nm to the southwest of the low pressure. Continued gradual development of this system is expected, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this weekend or early next week while it moves northwestward. This system has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Please refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at www.hurricanes.gov for more details. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from northwest Colombia to across southern Costa Rica, and to 10N84W to 13N99W to 10N109W and to 07N129W, where it transitions to the ITCZ and continues to 07N129W to 07N130W and to beyond 07N140W. Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is within 60 nm of the trough between 124W-129W, and within 60 nm of the ITCZ between 129W-134W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please read the Special Features section for information on two areas of low pressure with potential for tropical cyclone development. A weak pressure pattern in place is allowing for generally gentle to moderate NW to N winds offshore Baja California, with occasional fresh winds between Punta Eugenia and Cabo San Lazaro. Light to gentle winds are elsewhere off southern Mexico and in the Gulf of California. Combined seas are 4 to 6 ft off Baja California primarily in NW swell, and 3 to 5 ft primarily in long-period SW swell off southern Mexico, with the exception of the strong winds related to Invest EP92 as described above under Special Features. Seas of 2 to 4 ft are over the Gulf of California. For the forecast, the main issue will be the potential for a tropical depression or tropical storm to form off southern Mexico described in the Special Features section. Expect fresh to strong winds with rough seas over the offshore waters off western Oaxaca and Guerrero this morning, with the range of these seas of 7 to 11 ft in south to southwest swell. These adverse conditions will expand westward across the offshore waters toward Cabo Corrientes through early next week as low pressure farther to the south off the coast possibly becomes a tropical depression. Mariners should continue to monitor the latest statements from the National Hurricane Center on the possible tropical cyclone development. Gentle to moderate winds and seas of 5 to 7 ft in south to southwest swell are expected elsewhere outside the impacted waters of the Special Feature low pressure (Invest EP91) through the weekend. An 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 as it moves west- northwestward. ...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 into Sat. Mainly gentle to moderate breezes will persist elsewhere. Moderate seas in cross- equatorial swell are likely over the regional waters into this weekend. Abundant deep tropical moisture will persist across the region maintaining a high likelihood of additional showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA.... 1028 mb high pressure is located well north of the area near 42N143W. A rather persistent surface trough extends from a 1014 mb low that is north of the area at 35N127W, south- southwestward to 30N125W and to near 24N129W. No significant convection is occurring with this features. Moderate NE winds along with 8 to 9 ft NE swell persist east of the trough north of 25N. Seas are reaching 8 ft along 10N between 135W and 140W. Gentle to moderate breezes and 5 to 7 ft seas in a mix of N and SW swell persist elsewhere. For the forecast, guidance indicates that a trough will form within the area of the moderate to fresh north to northeast winds during the weekend and shift westward. The gradient between the trough and the high pressure to the north should extend the duration of the moderate to fresh northeast winds through late in the weekend, and possibly into early Mon even as the trough shifts west of 140W. The seas to 8 ft in north to northeast swell with these winds appear that they will linger as well. $$ Aguirre
