003 AXPZ20 KNHC 282139 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 2205 UTC Sat Jun 28 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 2100 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Offshore of Southern Mexico (EP95): Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south-southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec continue to show signs of organization. Environmental conditions appear conducive for development, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the next day or so while the system moves slowly west-northwestward off the coast of southern Mexico. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is expected over portions of Central America and southeastern Mexico through the weekend. There is the potential for significant rainfall across portions of SW Mexico from Jalisco to Guerrero and western Oaxaca. This system has a high chance of tropical cyclone formation through 48 hours, and also through 7 days. Please, read the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at www.hurricanes.gov for more details. For additional information, including gale warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 10N86W to 1009 mb low (EP95) near 13N97W to 11N101W to 13N110W to 09N125W. The ITCZ continues from 09N125W to beyond 07N140W. Aside from the convection related to EP95, scattered moderate to strong convection can be found elsewhere from 08N to 16N between 92W and 120W, and from 06N to 11N W of 120W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please, refer to the Special Features section above for details on Invest EP95. A Gale Warning is in effect with this system. Elsewhere, a ridge dominates the offshore forecast waters of Baja California, supporting gentle to locally moderate NW winds. Light and variable winds are seen in the Gulf of California while gentle winds are noted over the remainder of the Mexican offshore forecast waters, with the exception of moderate NW winds in the vicinity of Cabo Corrientes. Mainly moderate seas in SW swell prevail. For the forecast, marine conditions will deteriorate across the SE and SW Mexican offshore waters as Invest EP95 develops. Currently, the forecast calls for gale conditions across the offshore waters of Guerrero and Michoacan Sun night through Mon night, and across the offshore waters of Colima and Jalisco Tue and Tue night. The system is expected to approach Los Cabos and the entrance to the Gulf of California Wed through Thu. Otherwise, a strengthening surface ridge N of the area should induce fresh to strong SE winds in the Gulf of California by middle of the next week. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Light and variable winds are noted per scatterometer data across most of the forecast waters N of the monsoon trough, with the exception of moderate to fresh NE winds in the Papagayo region. Gentle to moderate S winds are S of the monsoon trough. Moderate to rough seas, in southerly swell, are between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, with slight to moderate seas elsewhere. For the forecast, pulsing winds to strong speeds are expected, mainly at night, in the Papagayo region through at least Tue. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas in southerly swell are expected. Moderate to rough cross equatorial S to SW swell will affect the waters between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands over the next several days. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A surface ridge extends across the basin from a 1032 mb high pressure centered at 36N143W. Under the influence of the ridge and based on satellite derived wind data, moderate to fresh NE winds are noted N of the ITCZ/Monsoon Trough and W of 130W, with gentle to moderate NE winds between 110W and 130W. South of the monsoon trough/ITCZ, moderate to fresh southerly winds are noted. Moderate seas prevail. For the forecast, a ridge will remain in control of the weather pattern across the region, with little change in winds and seas through Tue night. By Wed morning, seas generated by strong winds offshore the State of California will propagate across the northern forecast waters, building seas to 8 to 9 ft across most of the area N of 25N between 120W and 133W by Thu morning. $$ GR
