759 AXPZ20 KNHC 142136 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 2205 UTC Sat Jun 14 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 2040 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Tropical Storm Dalila is centered near 16.8N 105.5W at 2100 UTC, moving 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 210 nm to the northeast, and along the Mexican coast, and up to 270 nm across the southeast quadrant. Peak seas are estimated at 22 ft. Bands of numerous moderate to strong convection extend from the Mexican coast along 20N southward to 13N and between 99W and 109W, or between eastern coastal Guerrero and Jalisco. Dalila has likely reached its peak intensity this afternoon and may maintain its current strength through this evening before beginning a weakening trend tonight through Mon as it moves more westward over cooler waters and into a more stable environment. Dalila expected to become a 35 kt post tropical low near 17.9N 110.8W Sun night, then continue moving westward and weakening, finally dissipating midday Tue near 115W. 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 waves extends from the Gulf of Honduras southward across Central America and into the eastern Tropical Pacific along 87W-88W, moving westward 5-10 kt. A 1009 mb surface low is along the monsoon trough near 095N87.5W. Scattered to locally numerous moderate to strong convection is noted from 06N to 11N between 84W and 93W. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 10N73W to 11.5N80W to low pres near 09N87W 1009 mb to 14N99W, then resumes southwest of T.S. Dalila near 13N109W to 09N133W. The ITCZ extends from 09N133W to beyond 08N140W. Aside from the convection associated with T.S. Dalila, scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted N of 03N between E of 83.5W, and from 07.5N to 09.5N between 117W and 131W. Scattered to numerous moderate to strong convection is noted from 06N to 11.5N between 84W and 93W, N of 09N between 93W and 100W, and from 10N to 13N between 101W and 115W. ...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 near Manzanillo to the waters of eastern Guerrero. Tropical storm force winds are reaching the coasts of Guerrero and Michoacan. 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 40N136W to just west of the Revillagigedo Islands. This pattern continues to support gentle to locally moderate NW winds across the offshore waters of Baja California where seas are 5 to 7 ft in mixed NW and s swell. Light to gentle winds are ongoing in the Gulf of California with seas less than 3 ft, except in the entrance of the Gulf where seas are 4 to 5 ft in S swell. Light to gentle winds are also across the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Seas across these eastern waters from Oaxaca to Chiapas are 8 to 10 ft in S swell and waves from Dalila. For the forecast, Tropical Storm Dalila is expected to move NW near 10 kt through tonight, and will continue to brush the Mexican coastline. Dalila is expected to begin to turn more westerly and weaken on Sun, reaching near 17.8N 108.7W midday Sun, then reach near 17.9N 110.8W Sun night as a 35 kt post tropical system, then continue westward, reaching near 17.9N 112.6W midday Mon, before dissipating near 115W midday Tue. 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 87W-88W is described above, and contributing to active weather extending across much of the waters of Costa Rica and Nicaragua westward to 93W. This activity is likely producing strong gusty winds and rough seas. Onshore SW to W winds prevail across the area from southern Costa Rica eastward, while offshore winds have developed from the Papagayo region northward. Strong cross-equatorial southerly swell continues to dominate area waters, with seas of 6 to 9 ft. This swell event has peaked overnight, and seas have begun to diminish slightly between Ecuador, Colombia, and the Galapagos, where seas 5 to 8 ft prevail. For the forecast, large S to SW swell dominating the regional waters will slowly subside through early next week. Tropical Storm Dalila located south of Manzanillo, Mexico will move NW through early Sun then turn more W-NW and weaken Sun through Tue. Low pressure has formed just offshore of NW Costa Rica and is expected to drift W to W-NW and just offshore of the area coastlines through the middle of next. 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 40N136W. This pattern is supporting mostly moderate N to NE winds north of 20N and west of 120W, with 5 to 7 ft seas in a mix of N and S swell. Moderate to locally fresh NE trades prevail between 10N and 20N to the west of 125W, where seas are 5 to 6 ft. Southerly swell is slowly subsiding between 90W and 120W, where seas are 7 to 9 ft. Elsewhere moderate to fresh SW winds persist south of the monsoon trough between 100W and 125W. Seas are 5 to 7 ft in S swell elsewhere west of 120W. In the forecast, little change is expected west of 120W except for increased NW swell north of 28N and east of 130W today 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 night near 17.9N 114.1W. $$ Stripling
