Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Central America,
Colombia, and within 750 nm of Ecuador
1136 AM PST Thu Nov 5 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure offshore of Central America
is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms that 
remain disorganized. Gradual development of this system is still 
possible during the next several days, and a tropical depression 
could form by this weekend while the low drifts slowly offshore 
of the Central America coast. Regardless of development, this 
system could bring areas of heavy rain to portions of Central 
America through this weekend. This system has a medium chance of 
tropical cyclone formation in the next 48 hours and 7 days.
Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas will 
prevail into early next week. Winds may pulse to moderate to 
fresh offshore of the Gulf of Papagayo and in the Gulf of Panama 
by Tue night.
