An elongated area of low pressure near the coast of south-central Mexico continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Development of this system has become unlikely due to unfavorable upper-level winds and close proximity to land. Regardless of development, areas of heavy rainfall and flash flooding are likely in southeastern Mexico and northern Central America during the next several days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. Another low pressure system is located several hundred miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Some additional development of the disturbance is expected and it will likely become a tropical depression during the next few days while it moves slowly east-northeastward to northeastward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent. && High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header FZPN02 KWBC, and on the web at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php $$ Forecaster Zelinsky
