Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
213 AM PDT Fri Jun 14 2024

.SYNOPSIS...An increase in winds, rough seas and widespread
showers and thunderstorms will dominate the area this weekend. A
broad area of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles SW
of Acapulco, Mexico, is producing limited shower and thunderstorm
activity. Some slow development is possible this weekend and
early next week while the system moves slowly ESE and interacts
with a broader circulation that is forecast to develop offshore
of southern Mexico and Central America. This system has a low
chance of formation in the next 7 days. Regardless of
development, heavy rainfall is expected to impact Central America
through the weekend. Fresh to strong winds will shift to the
Gulf of Panama tonight into Sat with rough seas. By Sun, these
conditions are expected to develop across the offshore waters
from Guatemala to Nicaragua. Meanwhile, seas are expected to
build to 8 ft near the Galapagos Islands through the weekend.
