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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Norma, located a couple of hundred miles south of Cabo San Lucas,

located several hundred miles south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec is

to form later this weekend or early next week. The system is 
forecast to meander during the next couple of days and then drift 
generally northward late this weekend and into early next week.
