{"msg": "644\nAXPZ20 KNHC 302106\nTWDEP \nTropical Weather Discussion\nNWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL\n2205 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through\n2000 UTC.\n...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...\nThe monsoon trough extends from 10N86W to 06N91.5W. The ITCZ is \nanalyzed from 06N91.5W to 07N118W. Then, the monsoon trough\nextends from 10N126.5W to 07N140w. Scattered to numerous \nmoderate convection is depicted from 02N to 10N between 130W and\n140W. Scattered moderate convection is depicted from 00N to 08N \nbetween 88.5W and 120W. Similar convection is also depicted from \n00N to 10N between 120W and 130W. \n...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...\nFresh to strong N to NE gap winds are occurring over the Gulf of\nTehuantepec with seas 6-8 ft. The pressure gradient between\nhigher pressures over Mexico and a trough along the Gulf of \nCalifornia is supporting moderate S to SW winds over the \nsouthern and northern parts of the Gulf. Elsewhere, winds are \nmoderate or weaker with 4-6 ft over the Pacific waters, 2-5 ft \nover the N and central Gulf of California.\nFor the forecast, fresh to strong N gap winds over the Gulf of \nTehuantepec will continue through early next week and diminish by\nMon night. A developing extratropical cyclone should move into \nthe waters west of the Baja California peninsula and over the N \nGulf of California Sat night into Sun with fresh to strong SE to \nSW winds and seas to 9 ft. Fresh to strong SW winds along with\nseas to 5 ft should occur over the Gulf of California on Sun in \nthe wake of the extratropical cyclone. Moderate or weaker winds\nwill likely return to the offshore waters Sun into Mon. \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 with seas 4 to 7 ft. Moderate N winds along seas to 6 ft \nare present over the Gulf of Panama. Elsewhere, winds are \nmoderate or weaker. Seas are 4-6 ft. Scattered moderate \nconvection is also occurring from 00N-08N east 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 have reached the \nequatorial waters, and will diminish on Sun. \n...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...\nA 1012 mb low is centered near 25.5N133.5W with a cold front \nextending southwestward to 15N139W and a warm front extending \neast-southeast to 23.5N128W. Moderate to fresh northeast to east\nwinds prevail north of the low with seas to 8 ft. Moderate \nsouthwest winds are found along the cold front. Elsewhere, the \npressure gradient between weak ridging north of our waters and \nlower pressure over the monsoon trough is forcing only moderate \nor weaker trades across the forecast waters. Large, long-period \nSW swell is reaching northward across the equator to 08N between \n95W-137W. Elsewhere, seas 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 the warm front and \nfresh to strong N to NE winds should occur north of the cold \nfront. The system should move over the offshore zones west of the\nBaja California peninsula on Sun with winds and seas diminishing\nby Sun night.\n", "title": "Eastern Pacific Tropical Weather Discussion", "id": "1223307980922388482", "issued": "2026-10-30T22:05:00Z", "wmo": "AXPZ20", "source": "NOAA/NWS National Hurricane Center, received via the National Weather Wire Service", "page": "https://hurricane.terrapin.com/text/1223307980922388482"}
