####018003546#### AXPZ20 KNHC 250130 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Fri Apr 25 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 0130 UTC. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 09N84W to 05N112W. The ITCZ continues from 05N112W to 05N140W. Scattered moderate convection is occurring from 02N to 08N between 82W and 93W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 04N to 09N between 82W and 140W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Gentle to moderate winds prevail west of the Baja California peninsula, with gentle winds elsewhere over the open waters off Mexico. Light to gentle winds are in the Gulf of California. Seas are in the 5-6 ft range over the open waters off Mexico, and 3 ft or less in the Gulf of California. For the forecast, fresh NW winds will pulse offshore of Baja California Sur, including near Cabo San Lucas, each night and morning through Sat. Elsewhere, fresh to strong SW winds will pulse in the northern Gulf of California nightly through this weekend. Widespread moderate to fresh NW winds, and rough seas, will develop this weekend and continue into next week offshore of Baja California ahead of a cold front moving along the California coast. Elsewhere, fresh to occasional strong N winds will pulse in the Gulf of Tehuantepec this weekend. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Moderate to locally fresh winds are in the Gulf of Papagayo and Panama. Light to gentle winds prevail elsewhere. Seas are in the 4-6 ft range, except to 7 ft S of the Galapagos Islands. For the forecast, moderate to fresh E winds will pulse in the Gulf of Papagayo each night and morning into next week. In the Gulf of Panama, moderate to locally fresh winds will pulse nightly into Sat, with generally moderate winds expected thereafter. Long period southerly swell will bring rough seas offshore of Ecuador Fri night into Sun, including near the Galapagos Islands. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA.... High pressure dominates the waters N of 15N. The pressure gradient between this area of high pressure and lower pressure in the vicinity of the ITCZ is supporting moderate to fresh winds N of the ITCZ to near 18N and W of 120W. Seas over these waters are in the 7-9 ft range. Gentle to moderate winds, and seas of 5-6 ft, are N of 18N and W of 130W. Gentle winds, and seas of 5-6 ft are elsewhere over the discussion waters. For the forecast, little change in winds are expected across the discussion waters. Rough seas will prevail over the area of fresh winds in the tradewind zone over the western waters through the period. Long period S swell will propagate into the southern waters, bringing rough seas to the waters south of 05N between 100W and 120W through Sat morning before seas slowly subside by Sun. Locally fresh N to NW winds and rough seas will develop Fri night north of 27N behind a cold front moving southward through the northern waters. $$ AL ####018003464#### AXPZ20 KNHC 250131 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Fri Apr 25 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.
