TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1100 PM PDT FRI MAY 28 2010

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

RECENT MICROWAVE SCATTEROMETER DATA SHOWS THAT THE CIRCULATION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE AREA CENTERED ABOUT 225 MILES
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF PUERTO DE SAN JOSE GUATEMALA IS BECOMING BETTER
DEFINED.  IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE...A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD
FORM LATER TODAY AS THE SYSTEM DRIFTS NORTHEASTWARD.  THERE IS A
HIGH CHANCE...90 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.  HEAVY SQUALLS ARE ALREADY
APPROACHING THE COAST OF EASTERN MEXICO AND GUATEMALA AND THE AREA
OF HEAVY RAINS EXTENDS AS FAR EAST AS EL SALVADOR.  THESE RAINS ARE
LIKELY TO CONTINUE AND COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS
AND MUD SLIDES IN THESE AREAS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
 
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.
