594 AXPZ20 KNHC 072206 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 2205 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 2145 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Eastern Pacific Gale Warning: Low pressure of 1004 mb (Invest EP92) is near 14N100W, or about 150 nm off the coast of southern Mexico. Satellite imagery shows that numerous moderate to strong convection continues to become more organized from 10N to 17N between 93W and 101W. Strong to gale force winds and seas of 8 to 12 ft are within 120 nm of the coast of western Oaxaca and southeastern Guerrero. Although the system does not yet appear to have a well-defined circulation, further development is anticipated and a tropical depression or tropical storm will likely form later today or tonight. The system is forecast to move 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. For additional information, including gale warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service at website https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml. 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 to isolated strong convection from 07N to 13N between 107W and 112W. Seas to 8 ft are within about 150 nm to the southwest of the low pressure as indicated by the most recent altimeter satellite data that sampled that part of the area. Gradual development of this system is still expected, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this weekend or early next week while it moves slowly northward to 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, then to 10N84W to 14N100W to 10N111W and to 07N126W, where it transitions to the ITCZ and continues to 08N136W. Aside from convection associated with Invest EP91 and EP92, scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is within 60 nm south of the trough between 123W-125W, and within 30 nm south of the ITCZ between 139W-136W. ...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 northwest to north 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 southwest swell off southern Mexico, with the exception of the strong winds related to Invest EP92 as described above under Special Features. Seas of 3 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 southeastern Guerrero late this afternoon and evening, with the range of these seas of 8 to 12 ft late this afternoon and into this evening, building to 10 to 15 ft tonight. These adverse marine 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, and plan their routes accordingly to avoid the adverse marine conditions. 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, pulsing fresh to strong gap winds across the Gulf of Papagayo and the coast of Nicaragua will diminish Mon. Mainly gentle to moderate breezes will persist elsewhere. Moderate seas in cross equatorial swell will subside early next week. Abundant deep tropical moisture will persist across the region maintaining a high likelihood of additional showers and thunderstorms for the next few days. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA.... 1028 mb high pressure is located well north of the area near 41N141W. A rather persistent surface trough extends from a 1014 mb low that is north of the area at 35N127W, south-southwestward to 30N124W and to near 25N128W. No significant convection is occurring with this feature. Seas are reaching 8 ft along 10N between 135W and 140W. Gentle to moderate trades along with seas of 5 to 7 ft due to a mix of north and southwest swell are elsewhere. For the forecast, a trough is analyzed over the far western part of the area from 10N137W to 05N138.5W. Latest scatterometer satellite data reveals moderate to fresh northeast to east winds north and northeast of the trough to near 15N and east to 132W. The gradient between the trough and the high pressure to the north should keep these winds in place through the early part of the upcoming week even as the trough shifts west of 140W. The seas to 8 ft in north to northeast swell with these winds will linger into early next week. $$ Aguirre
