{"msg": "300\nAXPZ20 KNHC 011455\nTWDEP \nTropical Weather Discussion\nNWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL\n1605 UTC Sun Nov 1 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through\n1440 UTC.\n...SPECIAL FEATURES...\nGale Warning: A 1005 mb low is centered near 31N117W, with cold \nfront extending SW to near 22N122W. The cold front will move \nacross the Baja California Norte offshore waters through this \nevening. Moderate to fresh SW winds will develop over the \nnorthern Gulf of California ahead of the front this morning and \nreach strong to minimal gale-force by this afternoon. Winds will\nstart to diminish early this evening. A period of rough seas to \n9 ft will accompany these winds. Please read the latest HIGH \nSEAS FORECAST issued by the National Hurricane Center at website\n- https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml\n...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...\nThe monsoon trough extends from 09N84W to 06N116W to 09N140W. \nScattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 03N \nto 08N E of 86WW, and from 00N to 10N between 104W and 140W.\n...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...\nPlease see Special Features section above for information on a\ngale warning in the northern Gulf of California. \nFresh to strong N to NE gap winds, and seas of 8-9 ft, are over\nthe the Gulf of Tehuantepec. A 1005 mb low is centered near\n31N117W, with cold front extending SW to near 22N122W. Scattered\nmoderate and isolated strong convection is ahead of this cold\nfront, impacting the Baja California offshore waters as well as\nthe northern and central Gulf of California. Fresh to near- gale\nwinds, and rough seas to 9 ft are affecting the Baja California \noffshores N of Punta Eugenia. Moderate to locally fresh SW winds \nare developing in the northern half of the Gulf of California \nwhere seas remain slight. Elsewhere, light to gentle winds and \nmoderate seas to 6 ft prevail. \nFor the forecast, fresh to strong N gap winds over the Gulf of\nTehuantepec will continue through Mon morning. Low pressure with\nattendant cold front will move across the Baja California Norte \noffshore waters through this evening. Fresh to strong winds and \nrough seas associated with this system will affect the waters N \nof Cabo San Lazaro through this afternoon when seas will subside \nbelow 8 ft. Moderate to fresh SW winds over the northern Gulf \nof California ahead of the front will reach strong to minimal \ngale- force winds by this afternoon. Rough seas to 9 ft will\naccompany these winds. Winds will diminish below gale force by\nthis evening, and further diminish through early Mon. The\nfront will move into NW Mexico by Mon morning. High pressure will\nbuild in the wake of the front. The pressure gradient between\nthis area of high pressure and low pressure over Mexico will\nsupport moderate to fresh northerly winds in the Gulf of\nCalifornia as well as offshore the Baja California peninsula\nthrough midweek. Long period NW swell will build seas to 8 to 9 \nft N of Cabo San Lazaro Tue night into Thu morning. \n...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, \nAND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...\nFresh to strong NE winds, and seas of 8-9 ft, are over and \ndownstream the Gulf of Papagayo to near 90W. Moderate or weaker \nwinds and moderate seas in SW swell are elsewhere. \nFor the forecast, fresh to strong NE to E gap winds over the \nGulf of Papagayo region will diminish to moderate or weaker \nspeeds by Mon evening. Low pressure may develop SW of Costa Rica \nlate Tue and is forecast to bring strong SW winds and rough seas \nto 9 ft to the waters off Costa Rica and Panama into early Fri \nmorning.\n...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...\nA cold front extends from a 1005 mb low N of the area to near\n22N122W. Moderate to fresh winds, and seas of 6-9 ft are N of \nthe front. Fresh to locally strong winds, and rough seas to 9 ft,\nare from 01N to 06N between 108W and 114W. Elsewhere, winds are \nmoderate or weaker with moderate seas. \nFor the forecast, the front will shift east of the discussion\narea today, with winds and seas decreasing. Another cold front \nis forecast to enter the NW waters on Mon, which will be followed\nby fresh to strong winds and long period NW swell resulting in \nvery rough seas to 13 ft. The front will move eastward and \ndissipate Tue night west of the Baja California offshore waters. \nNW swell generated from the winds behind the front will spread\nSE, bringing rough seas over much of the waters N of 10N and W of\n120W by midweek.\n", "title": "Eastern Pacific Tropical Weather Discussion", "id": "1223801416556150787", "issued": "2026-11-01T16:05:00Z", "wmo": "AXPZ20", "source": "NOAA/NWS National Hurricane Center, received via the National Weather Wire Service", "page": "https://hurricane.terrapin.com/text/1223801416556150787"}
