206 AXPZ20 KNHC 060200 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Sun Jul 6 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 0200 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Central East Pacific (EP96): Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located a few hundred miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, are associated with a trough of low pressure. Gradual development of this system is anticipated during the next couple days, and a tropical depression is likely to form by early next week while it moves generally west-northwestward well off the coast of Mexico. By early Tuesday, the disturbance is expected to reach cooler water, ending its opportunity for development. There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation within the next two days, and a high chance within the next seven days. Please refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at wwww.hurricanes.gov for more details. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 91W, from 05N northward, moving westward around 10 to 15 kt. Nearby convection is described below in the monsoon trough/ITCZ section. The axis of a tropical wave is near 107/108W from 05N northward, moving westward around 10 to 15 kt. Low pressure of 1010 mb is along the wave axis near 15N. Please see SPECIAL FEATURES above for more on this feature. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 10N85W to 08N94W to 15N107.5W to 09N120W. The ITCZ continues from 09N120W to 08N140W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 03N to 10N E of 97W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 11N to 20N between 104W and 115W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please see the SPECIAL FEATURES section for information on the potential for tropical cyclone development well off the coast of Mexico. Gentle to moderate winds prevail over the open forecast waters, reaching fresh speeds off SW Mexico. Seas of 5-7 ft are noted over the open waters off Mexico...reaching 8 ft off SW Mexico. Over the Gulf of California, gentle winds and seas of 1-3 ft prevail. For the forecast, fresh to occasionally strong winds and rough seas are expected off the coast of southwestern Mexico for the rest of this weekend as an area of low pressure moves generally west- northwestward well off the coast of Mexico. Gradual development of this system is anticipated during the next couple days, and a tropical depression is likely to form by early next week while it moves generally west-northwestward well off the coast of Mexico. There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation within the next two days, and a high chance within the next seven days. An area of low pressure could form several hundred miles offshore of southwestern Mexico late next week. Some gradual development of this system is possible thereafter while it moves generally west- northwestward. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Gentle to moderate winds are noted over and downstream of the Gulf of Papagayo. Light to gentle winds are noted elsewhere N of the monsoon trough, with gentle to moderate winds S of the monsoon trough. Seas are in the 5 to 6 ft range, except S and SW of the Galapagos Islands where seas are reaching 7 ft. For the forecast, moderate E winds will pulse in the Gulf of Papagayo during the rest of the weekend before strengthening early next week. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds will prevail. Moderate seas in S to SW swell will prevail over the regional waters into early next week. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... High pressure prevails over the waters N of 20N. Gentle to moderate winds, and seas of 6 to 8 ft prevail over the discussion waters. For the forecast, moderate to fresh NE winds are expected north of the monsoon trough and ITCZ into early next week. Moderate to rough seas in the north-central waters, N of 25N between 120W and 130W, will be reinforced by another pulse of moderate to rough seas from long-period N swell on Sun, then gradually subside into Mon. Fresh to occasionally strong winds and rough seas will develop over the waters E of 120W on Sun as a tropical wave, with a possible developing area of low pressure moves across the area. Please see above for more on the potential for tropical cyclone development associated with this system. $$ AL
