000 ABPZ20 KNHC 061143 TWOEP Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 500 AM PDT Sat Oct 6 2018 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Sergio, located a little more than 1000 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure along the coast of Central America extend from Guatemala to Nicaragua. Recent satellite imagery and ship observations indicate that the disturbance has not become any better organized since yesterday, and close proximity to land is expected to limit the potential for tropical cyclone formation. However, heavy rains will continue across western Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala through early next week, resulting in flash floods and mudslides in mountainous areas of those countries. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Zelinsky
