The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0300 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of a tropical wave is near 107W, south of 17N, moving westward at around 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is active from 11N to 14N between 101W and 107W. The axis of a tropical wave is near 123W, south of 21N, moving westward at around 10 to 15 kt. No significant deep convection is occurring with this system this morning. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 10N84W to 06N95W to 11N118W to 08N125W. The ITCZ extends from 08N125W to beyond 06N140W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is active from 06N to 08N between 87W and 95W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A Tehuantepec gap wind event is producing pulses of fresh to strong N to NE winds with seas 7-8 ft. A surface ridge extends from 27N120W southeastward to 20N110W. Winds elsewhere across the offshore waters are moderate or weaker. Seas on the Pacific waters are 5-6 ft in S to SW swell and are 1-3 ft over the Gulf of California waters. For the forecast, low pressure over the deep tropics will continue inducing fresh to strong N to NE gap winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec through tomorrow night. Elsewhere, winds and seas across the Mexican offshore waters should be quiescent through early next week. Looking ahead, large NW swell may move into the waters off Baja California Norte starting Sun night. ....OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... A gap wind event is forcing fresh to strong NE winds across the Gulf of Papagayo region this evening with seas 7-9 ft. Elsewhere winds are moderate or weaker. Seas are 7-9 ft in S swell over the equatorial waters and 5-6 ft in SW swell over the remainder of the offshore waters. For the forecast, the pressure difference between high pressure north of the area and the monsoon trough farther south is supporting a Gulf of Papagayo region gap wind event. Fresh to strong NE to E winds should last through early next week. Elsewhere, winds should remain quiescent. Large S swell moving into the equatorial waters will continue through Sat night. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A 1009 mb low is centered near 18N123W. Winds within 120 nm in the northwest semicircle are fresh to strong with seas 6-8 ft. Broad ridging dominates the area north of 15N. The moderate pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over the monsoon trough/ITCZ is forcing moderate to fresh NE trades between 10N and the ridge. Elsewhere, winds across the open Pacific are moderate or weaker. Seas are 5-8 ft in mixed SW and N swell. For the forecast, the tropical wave near 107W is forecast to encounter more favorable conditions for development over the weekend across the central portion of the East Pacific basin. A tropical depression is likely to form by the early to middle part of next week while the wave moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 kt the waters well southwest of the Revillagigedo Islands. Outside of this system, little change in winds are expected for the next several days. A large SE swell should reach our southern border tonight and reach up to 01N with at least 8 ft seas for the next several days. $$ Christensen ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message File: T_AXPZ20KNHC260850_C_KWBC_20260626085046_9109880-6890-TWDEP.txt ****0000004764**** AXPZ20 KNHC 260850 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1005 UTC Fri Jun 26 2026 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.

This wave is moving west at 10 kt. No significant convection is evident along the wave axis at this time. The axis of a tropical wave is near 108W, south of 17N, moving westward at around 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is active from 13N to 15N between 106W and 108W. The axis of a tropical wave is near 124W, south of 21N, moving westward at around 10 to 15 kt. No significant deep convection is occurring with this system this morning. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 10N84W to 06N95W to 11N118W to 08N125W. The ITCZ extends from 08N125W to beyond 06N140W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is active from 05N to 09N between 90W and 100W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Fresh to strong gap winds continue to pulse across the Gulf of Tehuantepec this morning, along with rough seas. This is due the pressure difference between high pressure over south-central Mexico and lowering pressure along the monsoon trough over the eastern Pacific. Currently, clusters of thunderstorms are active across the Tehuantepec area. Farther north, a recent scatterometer satellite pass indicated fresh SW gap winds across the northern Gulf of California. This is associated with 1000 mb low pressure over the lower Colorado River Valley. Gentle to moderate breezes and 4 to 5 ft seas are noted elsewhere across Mexican offshore waters, with 1 to 3 ft in the Gulf of California. For the forecast, Lower pressure over the deep tropics will continue inducing fresh to strong N to NE gap winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec through late Sat. Elsewhere, winds and seas across the Mexican offshore waters should be quiescent through early next week. Looking ahead, large NW swell may move into the waters off Baja California Norte starting Sun night. ....OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... A recent scatterometer satellite pass indicated fresh to strong E to SE gap winds across the Gulf of Papagayo and off the coast of Nicaragua. Concurrent altimeter satellite data showed seas of at least 8 ft downstream of this plume. Elsewhere winds are moderate or weaker. Seas are 7-9 ft in S swell over the equatorial waters and 5-6 ft in SW swell over the remainder of the offshore waters. For the forecast, the pattern will continue support fresh to occasionally strong gap winds and rough seas across the Gulf of Papagayo through early next week. This plume of strong winds and rough seas will reach as far west as the waters beyond 180 nm off Guatemala and El Salvador through Sun night. Farther south, large S swell moving into the equatorial waters will continue through early next week. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A 1009 mb low is centered near 19N124W. A recent scatterometer satellite pass confirmed fresh NE winds within 90 nm of the center in the northwest semicircle. Seas are estimated to be 8-9 ft there in a mix of swell. Broad ridging dominates the remainder of the area north of 15N. The moderate pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over the monsoon trough/ITCZ is forcing moderate to fresh NE trades between 10N and the ridge. Elsewhere, winds across the open Pacific are moderate or weaker. Seas are 5-8 ft in mixed SW and N swell. For the forecast, the tropical wave near 108W is forecast to encounter more favorable conditions for development over the weekend across the central portion of the East Pacific basin. A tropical depression is likely to form by the early to middle part of next week while the wave moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 kt the waters well southwest of the Revillagigedo Islands.

The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 2145 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The southern portion of a Caribbean tropical wave is along 80W reaching southward to near 05N. It is moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Numerous moderate to strong convection is from 05N to 09N east of 83W to inland Colombia near 76W. A tropical wave has its axis along 90W north of 08N extending northward across eastern Guatemala to the southern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is moving westward around 10 kt. Aside from scattered showers and a few thunderstorms near the axis north of 16N, and also east from there to Belize, no significant convection is occurring near this wave at the present time. A tropical wave has its axis near 110W from 08N to 17N, moving westward around 10 kt. Latest ASCAT data indicates a fetch of mostly fresh east to southeast winds east of the wave to near 101W. A mid-level cyclonic circulation was noted in satellite animation imagery near 14.5N107W. Increasing scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is from 11N to 17N between the wave and 105W, and west of the wave to 113W from 10N to 17N. This convection is enhancing the fresh to strong speeds in severak locations within the aerea of the fresh winds. A tropical wave has its axis near 127W from 11N to 21N. A weak 1011 mb low is along the axis at 20N as noted in satellite imagery. It is moving westward at estimated motion of about 15 kt. Only isolated weak showers are within 60 nm northwest of the low. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from low pressure of 1008 mb in northwest Colombia to across northern Panama and to 09N84W to 08N96W to 08.5N102W to 08.5N112W to 13N119W to 12.5N124W to 09N127W, where it transitions to the ITCZ to 06N131.5W and to beyond 06N140W. Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is from 05N to 09N between 78W-83W. Scattered moderate convection is within 180 nm north-northeast of the the trough between 115W-120W, and within 60 nm of the trough between 91W-95W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... The pressure difference between high pressure ridging over the Gulf of America and relatively lower pressures from southeastern Mexico southward to region of the monsoon trough that is over the eastern Pacific is continuing to sustain fresh to strong gap winds in the Gulf of Tehuantepec as was revealed in today's 1540Z ASCAT pass. Seas to 8 ft are with these winds. In the Gulf of California, fresh southwest winds were detected by a recent ASCAT pass across the central portion of the Gulf from the gradient associated to the diurnal thermal trough. Seas are 2 to 4 ft over the Gulf, except for slightly higher seas of 3 to 5 ft in the southern portion. Light to gentle winds are elsewhere over the Mexican offshore waters along with seas of 5 to 7 ft in long- period south to southwest swell. For the forecast, the fresh to strong north to northeast gap winds are expected to continue in the Gulf of Tehuantepec region through Sun morning. Elsewhere, winds and seas across the Mexican offshore waters should be rather calm through early next week. Large northwest swell is expected to may move into the far northern waters off Baja California Norte beginning Sun night and linger into Tue. ....OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Fresh to strong northeast to east gap winds are across the Gulf of Papagayo and off the southern coast of Nicaragua. Recent altimeter satellite data indicates seas of 6 to 8 ft downstream of these winds from 09N to 11N between 87W and 91W. Moderate or weaker winds are elsewhere. Seas are 7 to 9 ft in long-period southerly swell over the equatorial waters and 5 to 6 ft in SW swell over the remainder of the offshore waters. For the forecast, the pressure difference between high pressure north of the area and relatively lower pressures in the tropics will support fresh to occasionally strong gap winds and rough seas across the Gulf of Papagayo through early Tue. The fresh to strong winds and moderate seas are expected to possibly reach as far west as 96W through Sun night. Farther south, large southerly swell moving into the equatorial waters will continue through early next week. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A weak 1011 mb low is centered near 20N127W as mentioned above under the Tropical Waves section. A recent ASCAT pass depicts fresh to strong northeast winds north of the low to 22N and roughly between 125W and 129W. Seas with these winds are 8 to 9 ft. Elsewhere, broad ridging dominates the remainder of the area north of 15N. The moderate pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure in the vicinity of the monsoon trough/ITCZ is resulting in moderate to fresh trade winds from 10N to 27N west of 127W, and from 12N to 17N between 113W and 120W. Seas are 5 to 7 ft over these areas, except for higher seas 6 to 8 ft from 14N to 20N west of 131W due to long-period north to northeast swell. Elsewhere, winds across the open Pacific are moderate or weaker. Seas are 6 to 8 ft in mixed north and southwest swell. For the forecast, the tropical wave near 110W is forecast to encounter more favorable conditions for gradual development during the next several days as it moves generally west- northwestward across the central portion of the eastern Pacific basin. A tropical depression could form during the early to middle part of next week. By late next week, the system is expected to reach a much less favorable environment for development. Outside of this system, little change in winds are expected for the next several days. Large southerly swell moving through far south-central waters, with seas of 8 to 9 ft may reach to near 03N between 100W and 127W by Sun night and into Mon. $$ Aguirre ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message File: T_AXPZ20KNHC262205_C_KWBC_20260626220611_32440682-3852-TWDEP.txt ****0000006567**** AXPZ20 KNHC 262205 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 2205 UTC Fri Jun 26 2026 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.

For the forecast, the pressure difference between high pressure north of the area and relatively lower pressures in the tropics will support fresh to occasionally strong gap winds and rough seas across the Gulf of Papagayo through early Tue. The fresh to strong winds and moderate seas are expected to possibly reach as far west as 96W through Sun night. Farther south, large southerly swell moving into the equatorial waters will continue through early next week. ...REMAINDER OF THE AREA... A weak 1011 mb low is centered near 20N127W as mentioned above under the Tropical Waves section. A recent ASCAT pass depicts fresh to strong northeast winds north of the low to 22N and roughly between 125W and 129W. Seas with these winds are 8 to 9 ft. Elsewhere, broad ridging dominates the remainder of the area north of 15N. The moderate pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure in the vicinity of the monsoon trough/ITCZ is resulting in moderate to fresh trade winds from 10N to 27N west of 127W, and from 12N to 17N between 113W and 120W. Seas are 5 to 7 ft over these areas, except for higher seas 6 to 8 ft from 14N to 20N west of 131W due to long-period north to northeast swell. Elsewhere, winds across the open Pacific are moderate or weaker. Seas are 6 to 8 ft in mixed north and southwest swell. For the forecast, the tropical wave near 110W is forecast to encounter more favorable conditions for gradual development during the next several days as it moves generally west- northwestward across the central portion of the eastern Pacific basin. A tropical depression could form during the early to middle part of next week. By late next week, the system is expected to reach a much less favorable environment for development. Outside of this system, little change in winds are expected for the next several days. Large southerly swell moving through far south-central waters, with seas of 8 to 9 ft may reach to near 03N between 100W and 127W by Sun night and into Mon. $$ Aguirre ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message File: T_AXPZ20KNHC262206_C_KWBC_20260626220711_32440682-3853-TWDEP.txt ****0000006568**** AXPZ20 KNHC 262206 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 2205 UTC Fri Jun 26 2026 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 2145 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The southern portion of a Caribbean tropical wave is along 80W reaching southward to near 05N. It is moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Numerous moderate to strong convection is from 05N to 09N east of 83W to inland Colombia near 76W. A tropical wave has its axis along 90W north of 08N extending northward across eastern Guatemala to the southern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is moving westward around 10 kt. Aside from scattered showers and a few thunderstorms near the axis north of 16N, and also east from there to Belize, no significant convection is occurring near this wave at the present time. A tropical wave has its axis near 110W from 08N to 17N, moving westward around 10 kt. Latest ASCAT data indicates a fetch of mostly fresh east to southeast winds east of the wave to near 101W. A mid-level cyclonic circulation was noted in satellite animation imagery near 14.5N107W. Increasing scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is from 11N to 17N between the wave and 105W, and west of the wave to 113W from 10N to 17N. This convection is enhancing the fresh to strong speeds in several locations within the area of the fresh winds. A tropical wave has its axis near 127W from 11N to 21N. A weak 1011 mb low is along the axis at 20N as noted in satellite imagery. It is moving westward at estimated motion of about 15 kt. Only isolated weak showers are within 60 nm northwest of the low. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough axis extends from low pressure of 1008 mb in northwest Colombia to across northern Panama and to 09N84W to 08N96W to 08.5N102W to 08.5N112W to 13N119W to 12.5N124W to 09N127W, where it transitions to the ITCZ to 06N131.5W and to beyond 06N140W. Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is from 05N to 09N between 78W-83W. Scattered moderate convection is within 180 nm north-northeast of the the trough between 115W-120W, and within 60 nm of the trough between 91W-95W. ...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... The pressure difference between high pressure ridging over the Gulf of America and relatively lower pressure from southeastern Mexico southward to region of the monsoon trough that is over the eastern Pacific is continuing to sustain fresh to strong gap winds in the Gulf of Tehuantepec as was revealed in today's 1540Z ASCAT pass. Seas to 8 ft are with these winds. In the Gulf of California, fresh southwest winds were detected by a recent ASCAT pass across the central portion of the Gulf from the gradient associated to the diurnal thermal trough. Seas are 2 to 4 ft over the Gulf, except for slightly higher seas of 3 to 5 ft in the southern portion. Light to gentle winds are elsewhere over the Mexican offshore waters along with seas of 5 to 7 ft in long- period south to southwest swell. For the forecast, the fresh to strong north to northeast gap winds are expected to continue in the Gulf of Tehuantepec region through Sun morning. Elsewhere, winds and seas across the Mexican offshore waters should be rather calm through early next week. Large northwest swell is expected to may move into the far northern waters off Baja California Norte beginning Sun night and linger into Tue. ....OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Fresh to strong northeast to east gap winds are across the Gulf of Papagayo and off the southern coast of Nicaragua.
