239 AXPZ20 KNHC 150357 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0405 UTC Sun Jun 15 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 0350 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Tropical Storm Dalila is centered near 17.6N 106.1W at 15/0300 UTC, moving west-northwest at 10 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 993 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 55 kt with gusts to 65 kt. Seas of 12 ft and greater extend outward to 150 nm to the northeast, and along the SW Mexican coast, and up to 180 nm across the southeast quadrant. Peak seas are estimated at 22 ft. Numerous moderate to strong convection extend from 09N to 22N between 102W and 111W. Dalila will continue to move towards the west-northwest and turn toward the west later tonight and Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Dalila is forecast to remain offshore the southwestern coast of Mexico. Dalila is likely near its peak intensity and will begin to gradually weaken later tonight or Sunday. Please refer to the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National Hurricane Center at website - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml and the latest T.S. Dalila NHC Forecast Advisory and Public Advisory at www.hurricanes.gov for more details. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave extend from Honduras southward into the eastern Tropical Pacific along 88W, moving westward 5-10 kt. A 1009 mb surface low is along the monsoon trough near 09N88W. Scattered to numerous moderate to strong convection is noted from 08N to 14N between 85W and 90W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 09N83W to 13N96W, then resumes southwest of T.S. Dalila near 12N110W to 09N125W. The ITCZ extends from 09N125W to beyond 07N140W. For convection information see the Special Features and Tropical Waves sections. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please read the Special Features section for information on Tropical Storm Dalila, located a few hundred miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico. Broad cyclonic flow associated with Dalila dominates the SW Mexican offshore waters, from Michoacan to the waters of Jalisco where tropical storm force winds are ongoing. Seas to 12 ft associated with Dalila have reach the coast across much of this area. Elsewhere, a broad and weak ridge extends from a 1028 mb high centered well NW of the area near 38N136W to just west of the Revillagigedo Islands. This pattern is supporting moderate to locally fresh NW winds across the offshore waters of Baja California where seas are 5 to 7 ft in S swell. Light to gentle winds are ongoing in the northern Gulf of California with seas less than 3 ft. In the southern half of the Gulf winds are moderate to fresh from the NW and seas are 3 to 5 ft. Gentle to locally moderate W winds are across the Gulf of Tehuantepec with 7 to 8 ft in SW swell. For the forecast, Dalila will move to 17.9N 107.4W Sun morning, 18.1N 109.4W Sun evening, weaken to a remnant low near 17.9N 111.1W Mon morning, 17.8N 112.7W Mon evening, 17.8N 114.5W Tue morning, and dissipate Tue evening. Cross-equatorial southerly swell will continue to mix with seas generated from Dalila to impact the waters between Tehuantepec and Baja California Sur through Sun night. Elsewhere, high pressure well northwest of the area will support generally moderate to locally fresh N-NW winds across the Baja California offshore waters through Tue. NW to N swell will build into the Baja waters Sun through Wed. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... A tropical wave moving across Central America along 88W is described above, and contributing to active weather extending across much of the waters of El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. This activity is producing strong gusty winds and rough seas. Scatterometer data show gentle to moderate southerly winds over the Costa Rica offshore waters where seas are 5-7 ft. Elsewhere winds are light to gentle, and seas are moderate to 7 ft in strong cross-equatorial southerly swell. For the forecast, large S to SW swell dominating the regional waters will slowly subside through early next week. Tropical Storm Dalila located SSW of Manzanillo, Mexico will move NW through early Sun then turn more W-NW and weaken Sun through Tue. Low pressure offshore Costa Rica is expected to drift W to W-NW through the middle of next week. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to remain active across the regional waters in association with this system. This system is being monitored for potential tropical development, and has a low chance of formation through 48 hours, and a medium chance through 7 days. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Please read the Special Features section for information on Tropical Storm Dalila, located a few hundred nautical miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico. Broad and weak ridging dominates the waters north of 13N, centered on a 1028 mb high near 38N136W. This pattern is supporting gentle to moderate N to NE winds north of 08N and west of 120W, with 5 to 7 ft seas in a mix of N and S swell. Southerly swell is slowly subsiding between 90W and 110W, where seas are 7 to 8 ft. Elsewhere south of the monsoon/ITCZ, winds and seas are mainly moderate. In the forecast, little change is expected west of 120W except for increased NW swell north of 28N and east of 130W through Wed. Conditions east of 120W and associated with T.S. Dalila are described in the Special Features section above, and will be dominated by large SW swell through tonight, and mixed E to SE swell generated by Dalila. Dalila is forecast to spin down to a 20 kt remnant low by Mon evening near 17.8N 112.7W. $$ Ramos
