association with a broad area of low pressure located about 1400
miles east-southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii.  Environmental
conditions are expected to be conducive for development, and if
current trends continue, a tropical depression is likely to form
later today or on Saturday as low moves westward or west-
northwestward at about 15 mph.

An area of low pressure could form early next week several hundred
miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula.  Little to no development of this system is expected as
it moves slowly westward.
