{"msg": "688\nAXPZ20 KNHC 300846\nTWDEP \nTropical Weather Discussion\nNWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL\n1005 UTC Fri Oct 30 2026\nTropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from\n03.4S to 30N, east of 120W including the Gulf of California, and\nfrom the Equator to 30N, between 120W and 140W. The following\ninformation is based on satellite imagery, weather observations,\nradar, and meteorological analysis.\nBased on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through\n0830 UTC.\n...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...\nThe ITCZ is analyzed from 07N89W to 05N119W. A trough extends\nfrom 05N125W to a 1011 mb low pres near 08N137W. Scattered\nshowers are noted along the ITCZ. Scattered moderate convection \nis noted S of 11N and W of 120W. \n...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...\nThe remnants of Vance are producing fresh to strong winds and\nseas to 8 ft just north of Cabo Corrientes. Fresh to strong N to\nNE gap winds are occurring over the Gulf of Tehuantepec with \nseas 6-8 ft. Elsewhere, winds are moderate or weaker with 5-7 ft \nover the Pacific waters, 2-4 ft over the N and central Gulf of \nCalifornia.\nFor the forecast, the strong winds generated by the remnants of \nVance will dissipate this morning. Fresh to strong N gap winds \nover the Gulf of Tehuantepec will continue through early next \nweek and diminish by Mon night. A developing extratropical \ncyclone should move into the waters west of the Baja California \npeninsula and over the N Gulf of California Sat night into Sun \nwith fresh to strong SE to SW winds. Fresh NW winds should occur \nover the Gulf of California on Mon and Tue in the wake of the \nextratropical cyclone. \n...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, \nAND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...\nFresh NE to E gap winds are occurring over the Gulf of Papagayo \nregion. Elsewhere, winds are moderate or weaker. Seas are 4-6 \nft. Scattered moderate convection is also occurring from 00N-07N\neast of 83W.\nFor the forecast, fresh to strong NE to E gap winds over the \nGulf of Papagayo region should continue through Mon. Fresh N \nwinds over the Gulf of Panama should continue today before \nweakening on Sat. Large, long-period SW swell will reach the \nequatorial waters today before diminishing on Sun. \n...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...\nA 1010 mb low is centered near 28N137W with a trough extending \nsouthwestward to 25N137W. Winds north of the low are E fresh \nwith seas to 8 ft. Elsewhere, the pressure gradient between weak \nridging north of our waters and lower pressure over the monsoon \ntrough is forcing only moderate or weaker trades across the \nforecast waters. Large, long-period SW swell is reaching \nnorthward across the equator to 04N between 108W-129W. Elsewhere\nseas are 4-7 ft.\nFor the forecast, the low will become an extratropical cyclone  \nthis morning and then move slowly eastward. By tonight, fresh to\nstrong S to SW winds will develop south of a warm front and \nfresh to strong N to NE winds should occur north of a cold front.\nThe system should move over the offshore zones west of the Baja \nCalifornia peninsula on Sun with winds and seas diminishing by \nSun night.\n", "title": "Eastern Pacific Tropical Weather Discussion", "id": "1223162631694942210", "issued": "2026-10-30T10:05:00Z", "wmo": "AXPZ20", "source": "NOAA/NWS National Hurricane Center, received via the National Weather Wire Service", "page": "https://hurricane.terrapin.com/text/1223162631694942210"}
