TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
500 PM PDT TUE AUG 12 2008

FOR THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC...EAST OF 140 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE..

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL
STORM HERNAN...LOCATED ABOUT 1350 MILES EAST OF THE HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS.

SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED ABOUT 200
MILES WEST OF ACAPULCO MEXICO HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED
THIS AFTERNOON.  ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE SOMEWHAT
FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THIS SYSTEM BECOMES A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION...HEAVY RAINS COULD OCCUR ALONG PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHWEST COAST OF MEXICO DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.  

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
LOCATED ABOUT 750 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA
CALIFORNIA MEXICO IS MINIMAL.  UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE CURRENTLY NOT
FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT...BUT COULD BECOME MORE CONDUCIVE FOR
TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE LOW
MOVES SLOWLY WESTWARD.  

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.
