709 AXPZ20 KNHC 071509 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1605 UTC Mon Jul 7 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 1400 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 84W from the NW Caribbean Sea to across eastern Honduras and Nicaragua, moving westward at 10 kt. Nearby convection is over those portions of Central America and also the SW Caribbean Sea. The axis of a tropical wave is near 94.5W north of 10N to across the Gulf of Tehuantepec, moving slowly westward at 5 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in the ITCZ/monsoon trough section below. The axis of a tropical wave is near 112.5W from 11N to 22N, moving westward at around 10 kt. Nearby convection is discussed in the ITCZ/monsoon trough section below. A 1010 mb low pressure area, Invest EP93, is along the wave at 18N112.5W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 10N75.5W to 10N102W to 12N112W to 08N123W. The ITCZ extends from 08N123W to 08N140W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 05N to 10.5N between 84W and 121W, from 10N to 16N between 86W and 106W, and from 10.5N to 14.5N between 111W and 114W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A 1010 mb low pressure area, Invest EP93, is near 18N112.5W. Associated winds have diminished to 20 kt or less and seas are up to 7 ft. Convection has dissipated. Gentle to moderate winds prevail over the remainder of the waters W of the Baja California peninsula. Gentle winds are elsewhere over the open waters off Mexico. In the Gulf of California, moderate to fresh SE winds are present. Seas are 3-5 ft, except 2 ft or less in the northern Gulf. Seas of 5-7 ft are noted over the open waters off Mexico. For the forecast, an area of low pressure could form several hundred nautical miles offshore of southwestern Mexico late this week. Some gradual development of this system is possible thereafter while it moves generally west-northwestward well off the coast of Mexico with increasing winds and building seas. Winds will occasionally surge to fresh to strong in the Gulf of California, mainly the northern portion, through the week. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds, and moderate seas, will prevail across the forecast waters. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Moderate to fresh 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 4-6 ft range. For the forecast, fresh to strong E winds will pulse in the Gulf of Papagayo through Wed night, then moderate to fresh thereafter. A tropical wave currently over eastern Central America may bring a surge of fresh to strong winds offshore El Salvador and Guatemala tonight into early Tue. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds will prevail. Moderate seas in S to SW swell will prevail over the regional waters during the period, building near rough south of the Galapagos Islands by the end of the week. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... High pressure prevails over the waters north of 20N. Gentle to moderate winds prevail across the discussion waters, except moderate to fresh in the west central waters where seas are to 8 ft. Seas of 5 to 7 ft prevail elsewhere. For the forecast, little change in winds and seas are anticipated over the next few days. Cross equatorial, rough southerly swell will move into the waters S of 05N and W of 100W by the middle to the end of the week. Seas may build to near 8 ft in fresh N swell along 30N between 120W and 130W at the end of the week. $$ Lewitsky
