THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL
STORM HERNAN...LOCATED ABOUT 800 MILES SOUTHWEST OF CABO SAN LUCAS
MEXICO.

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A WELL-DEFINED TROPICAL
WAVE HAS EMERGED OVER THE EXTREME EASTERN PACIFIC JUST WEST OF
COSTA RICA.  THIS SYSTEM IS PRODUCING A RELATIVELY CONCENTRATED
AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR
DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 15 TO 20
MPH.

ANOTHER BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 600 MILES
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF MANZANILLO MEXICO IS PRODUCING A LARGE BUT
DISORGANIZED AREA OF CLOUDINESS...SHOWERS...AND THUNDERSTORMS. 
SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS LOCATED ABOUT 1250 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST
OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.  WHILE THIS SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY PRODUCING
ONLY LIMITED AND DISORGANIZED SHOWER ACTIVITY...SLOW DEVELOPMENT IS
POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES SLOWLY
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 10 MPH.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
