For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Sergio, located several hundred miles west-southwest of the southern
tip of the Baja California peninsula.

The broad area of low pressure located offshore of the Pacific coast
of southern Nicaragua has become a little better defined during
the past several hours.  This system is expected to drift northward
or northwestward over the weekend, and gradual development is
possible before it moves onshore the coast of Central America.
Regardless of development, heavy rains could cause flash floods and
mudslides in mountainous areas of western Costa Rica, Nicaragua,
Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
