Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1005 UTC Fri Jul 21 2017
Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from
the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is
based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and
meteorological analysis.
Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0900 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Tropical Storm Greg is centered near 14.5N 118.3W, or 700 nm SW
of the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula at 2 am PDT, moving W
at 8 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb. Maximum
sustained winds are 45 kt with gusts to 55 kt. Scattered
moderate to strong convection is noted within 150 nm N and 100 S
of the center. Greg is forecast to slowly intensify and reach
hurricane strength in about 48 hours. See the latest NHC
forecast/advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATCMEP2 WTPZ22 for
more details.
A 1009 mb surface low is along a tropical wave near 08N91W with
scattered moderate isolated strong convection observed within
210 nm of the W semicircle of the low. Environmental conditions
are favorable for this low to strengthen into a tropical cyclone
reaching near 10N94W early Sat and near 12N107W early Sun.
A 1008 mb surface low continues near 12N108W in association with
a tropical wave. Scattered strong convection is noted within 120
nm W of the low. The pressure gradient is supporting strong
winds within 240 nm NE of the low. Environmental conditions are
favorable for tropical cyclone formation as this low continues
NW to near 14N111W early Sat and near 15N113.5W early Sun.
...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...
The monsoon trough extends from the coast of Colombia at 08N78W
to the coast of Costa Rica at 10N85W, through a surface low at
08N91W to 13N99W to another surface low at 12N108W to 13N112W.
Except noted with the lows discussed above, minimal convection
is associated with the trough axis.
...DISCUSSION...
OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...
Gentle to moderate NW winds off the Baja California peninsula
are expected to continue through Sat. Seas will remain 5 to 7 ft
in a mix of long period north and southwesterly swell. Gentle
southerly flow will persist in the Gulf of California, except
for moderate southerly flow over the northern Gulf.
Fresh to strong northerly gap winds will once again pulse to
around 20 kt during mainly overnight and early morning hours in
the Gulf of Tehuantepec, with a shorter pulse of strong gap
winds again tonight into Saturday. Seas will build to 8 ft with
an additional component of longer period southwest swell.
OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...
In the Gulf of Papagayo, moderate to fresh offshore winds will
pulse to fresh each night with nocturnal drainage through the
week, occasionally building max seas to 8 ft in a mix of east
swell and longer period southwest swell.
Gentle to moderate southerly winds are expected south of the
monsoon trough axis. Long period cross-equatorial southerly
swell and 6-7 ft seas will continue to propagate into the waters
reaching the coast of Central America through the day. Another
pulse of large southerly swell will move into the region today
and raise seas to 6-8 ft through tonight.
REMAINDER OF THE AREA...
Tropical Storm Fernanda is W of 140W, however, strong cyclonic
winds continue from 19N-22N west OF 138W, with seas to 12 ft.
Moderate convection is west of 140W. Fresh cyclonic winds and 7-
10 ft seas are observed elsewhere W of 136W between 14N-25N.
Expect all associated conditions to shift W of 140W by tonight.
The remnant low of TD 8-E is analyzed near 13N126W and estimated
pressure of 1010 MB, with strong winds continuing within 120 nm
of the center. The low will gradually dissipate through tonight.
The pressure gradient between Fernanda and Greg will maintain
moderate to fresh NE winds N of 25N and W of 127W through the
upcoming weekend. Northerly swell in the form of 7-8 ft seas
will propagate S of 32N between 125W and 135w early next week.
