Showers and thunderstorms associated with this system are gradually becoming better organized, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the next day or two while the low moves northward at about 5 mph. 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...80 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent A small low pressure system is producing a concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms that extend about 100 miles off the coasts of Guatemala and El Salvador. The low is expected to move little or drift westward during the next couple of days, and further development appears unlikely due to its proximity to land and unfavorable upper-level winds. Regardless of tropical cyclone development, this system will continue to produce heavy rains across portions of El Salvador, southern Guatemala, and southeastern Mexico during the next few days, along with gusty winds along the coast. These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent An area of low pressure could form early next week about 1000 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Some gradual development of this system is possible later next week while it moves slowly northward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent $$ Forecaster Berg
