It may be the warmest waters in the entire basin, but it looks like the circulation will be too expansive and too close to land for it to take full advantage of it. If the circulation tightens up and if it isn’t right on the Central American coast, then I could see the possibility of a stronger hurricane.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: 2020 EPAC Season
Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Fri May 29 2020
For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:
A trough of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles south of
the coasts of Central America and southern Mexico continues to
produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although this
system remains poorly organized, environmental conditions
appear conducive for gradual development and a tropical depression
could form this weekend. This disturbance is expected to move
slowly northward toward Central America and southern Mexico during
the next couple of days.
Regardless of development, this system is expected to produce heavy
rainfall over portions of Central America and southern Mexico
this weekend and early next week. These rains could cause
life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of
mountainous terrain. See products from your local weather office
for additional information.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Re: 2020 EPAC Season
0z Euro & EPS is trending towards less ridging across the gulf coast so is sending a majority of the energy north.
The Euro has been over doing ridging across the gulf coast in its 7-10 day range during the past few days.

Re: 2020 EPAC Season
6z euro is suggesting a much quicker crossover/reformation. by day three it is already halfway to the NW carrib/BOC.

12z GFS doesn't develop this for another five days when this moved west back offshore.

Re: 2020 EPAC Season
The 12z GFS sets up a monster ridge over the southeast and northern GOM, nothing is making it into the Gulf in this scenario except maybe the extreme southern BoC.

Re: 2020 EPAC Season
Probably need to wait on a monsoonal setup to see some EPAC action. Right now the Atlantic owns all the rising air and most disturbances will develop there. We may get lucky and get some hand-me-downs from the Atlantic but I think they will be very few compared to prior years.

Re: 2020 EPAC Season
00z Euro and GFS showing a signs of TC formation off of Mexico starting in 10 days:
It's possible that these do not make it to the EPAC and instead develop in the far W-Caribb.

12z ECMWF shows something near 120W and 12z shows a hint. I kinda don't buy it.

It's there on both the GFS and Euro but too far west and too early.

With a CCKW presumably in the WPAC right now given that basin was active, this seems the classic case, just because they usually propagate too fast, of a phantom storm. It wouldn't shock me if the EPAC lights up somewhat soon but this isn't it.
