NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
0405 UTC WED FEB 16 2005

TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION FOR EASTERN PACIFIC OCEAN FROM
EQUATOR TO 32N...EAST OF 140W. 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.

..ITCZ...
INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE IS ALONG THE LINE 5N77W 5N110W
6N140W.
THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE ITCZ AT
THIS TIME.

DISCUSSION...
UPPER TROUGH IS NORTHWEST OF A LINE THROUGH 32N118W TO 15N140W.
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT IS ALONG A LINE THROUGH 32N123W TO 18N130W
AND HAS BECOME DIFFUSE SOUTH OF 18N.  ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE
WITHIN 45 NM OF THE FRONT NORTH OF 28N.  SCATTERED OCCASIONALLY
BROKEN LOW CLOUDS ARE NORTHWEST OF THE FRONT.  SOME CONVECTION
IS AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER
FRONTAL TROUGH ROTATING AROUND A LOW NORTH OF THE AREA NEAR
35N130W.  THE UPPER LEVELS WITHIN THE TROUGH ARE DRY INDICATING
MODERATE TO STRONG SUBSIDENCE.  THE STRONGEST SUBSIDENCE IS
WITHIN 360 NM NORTHWEST OF THE LINE MARKING THE TROUGH.

ELSEWHERE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS NOTED.  MOST OF THE RIDGE AREA
IS DRY HOWEVER THERE ARE TWO EXCEPTIONS.  ONE IS WITHIN 500 NM
SOUTHEAST OF THE LINE 32N118W TO 18N133W WHERE MIDDLE AND UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE IS BEING ADVECTED NORTHEASTWARD OVER NORTHWESTERN
MEXICO AND THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES.  OVERCAST MIDDLE AND
UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS ACCOMPANY THIS MOISTURE.  THE OTHER EXCEPTION
IS WHERE THE PREVIOUS ITCZ CONVECTION HAS RELEASED MOISTURE IN
THE MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVELS WHICH IS BEING ADVECTED NORTHEAST
TOWARDS THE AREA FROM FAR EASTERN MEXICO TO NICARAGUA.  NOT MUCH
IN THE WAY OF CLOUDINESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MOISTURE.
SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS WITH LARGE AREAS OF CLEAR SKIES ARE FOUND
IN THE RIDGE AREA.
