For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently
upgraded Tropical Storm Amanda, located well southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.

Eastern East Pacific:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of Central
America and southern Mexico late this week. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for development of this system thereafter, and a
tropical depression could form late this weekend or early next week
while it moves slowly northwestward or northward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Offshore Southern and Southwestern Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of southern and
southwestern Mexico early next week. Environmental conditions could
allow for some gradual development of this system thereafter while
it slowly moves generally northward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Tropical Storm Amanda Discussion Number   4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP012026
800 AM PDT Wed Jun 03 2026

Deep convection has been increasing near and to the west of the 
low-level center of the system over the past 6-12 hours. Objective 
Dvorak satellite intensity estimates from UW-CIMSS are around 35 
kt. Using these estimates and the latest satellite trends, the 
depression has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Amanda with the 
initial intensity set to 35 kt.

Amanda is moving a little faster to the northwest with an initial 
motion of 305/7 kt. The system is flanked by a mid-level ridge to 
the northeast and an upper-level low to the northwest, supporting a 
northwestward to west-northwestward motion through Friday. A turn 
toward the west then west-southwest with a slower forward motion is 
expected by this weekend as the ridge strengthens. The official 
forecast is similar to the previous in the short term, but has been 
nudged slightly farther south from the previous beyond Day 3, lying 
between the Google DeepMind and various consensus aids. 

The storm has shown increasing organized convection this morning, 
and is embedded within a sufficiently saturated low- and mid-level 
environment. All model guidance supports steady strengthening over 
the next 36 h or so. It is noted that GFS and EC SHIPS RI model 
guidance are showing a 20 to 30 percent chance of rapid 
intensification during the next 24 to 36 h. The official NHC 
forecast maintains a peak intensity of 55 kt, which lies near the 
higher end of the model guidance. After 36-48 h, Amanda will move 
into a less-favorable environment with increasing shear and a drier 
mid-level airmass, supporting steady weakening through this weekend. 
Towards the end of the forecast period, the system will begin to 
struggle to produce convection. The official forecast now has the 
system becoming a post-tropical remnant low at Day 5, although some 
models suggest this could occur sooner than forecast.

 Pepper Ridge North Valley Random Weather Facts

MONSOON
The best example of a monsoon on Earth occurs over the Indian sub continent. During the months of April through October, a moist southwest wind brings heavy rains to this region...while a dry northeast wind is prevalent during the remainder of the year.

In North America, a similar situation occurs over much of Mexico. For example, in Acapulco, rainfall averages 51.8 inches during the months of June through October...while only 3.3 inches falls during the remainder of the year.

In the United States, Arizona and New Mexico are located on the northern fringe of the Mexican Monsoon. For most of the year, winds aloft over the southwest U.S. are west to northwest. During the summer, winds turn to a more south to southeast direction, importing moisture from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of California and the Gulf of Mexico.
