Environmental conditions are expected to become unfavorable for significant development on Tuesday. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent. A disturbance located a little less than 1000 miles southwest of the Baja California peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
