Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
232 PM PDT Fri Jun 5 2026

.SYNOPSIS...SW swell will continue to propagate into the 
regional waters, maintaining moderate to rough seas through Sat 
morning. New larger SW swell is expected to arrive Sat night, 
propagating northeastward and into the area coastal waters by 
late Sun, building seas to 7 to 10 ft. SW to W monsoonal winds 
are expected to strengthen Sat night through Sun and aid in the 
development of low pressure offshore of Central America. 
Disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity is already 
occurring across these waters this afternoon. Environmental 
conditions appear conducive for development of this low pressure 
system, and a tropical depression could form during the next 
several days while it moves slowly northward toward the coast of 
Central America. Regardless of development, fresh to strong 
monsoonal winds will increase over the weekend, likely leading to
heavy rainfall across portions of Nicaragua, El Salvador, and 
Guatemala. Currently, this system has a medium chance of tropical
cyclone formation within the next 7 days.
