000 ABPZ20 KNHC 252331 TWOEP TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 500 PM PDT FRI SEP 25 2015 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: Shower and thunderstorm activity has increased since yesterday in association with a broad area of low pressure located just south of the coast of Guatemala. However, further development of this low appears unlikely due to interaction with land while it moves slowly northward. Regardless of tropical cyclone development, this system will continue to produce heavy rains across portions of southern Guatemala, El Salvador, and southeastern Mexico during the next few days, along with gusty winds along coastal portions of those areas. These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located about 400 miles south of Acapulco, Mexico, have increased in organization since yesterday.

Interests along the southern coast of Mexico should monitor the progress of this system during the next several days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent An area of low pressure could form early next week about 1000 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.
