000 ABPZ20 KNHC 042339 TWOEP Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 500 PM PDT Tue Jul 4 2017 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a low pressure area located about 550 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula has become a little better organized during the afternoon, but satellite data indicates that a well-defined circulation does not yet exist. This system still has the potential to become a tropical depression during the next day or two before it moves westward into a less favorable environment. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent. A broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles south of Acapulco, Mexico is producing widespread showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are forecast to be favorable for gradual development, and this system is likely to become a tropical depression late this week or this weekend while the disturbance moves generally westward at about 10 mph. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent. Another area of disturbed weather is located over the far eastern North Pacific, a few hundred miles south of the coast of El Salvador. Development, if any, of this system should be slow to occur, due in part to its close proximity to the disturbance to the west. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Zelinsky
