Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Sat Aug 3 2024

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Carlotta, located several hundred miles to the west-southwest of the 
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, and on Tropical Storm 
Daniel, located more than one thousand miles to the west-southwest 
of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. 

1. South of Southwestern Mexico (EP96):
A broad area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south of 
southwestern Mexico continues to produce a large area of 
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions 
appear conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression 
is likely to form during the next couple of days while the system 
moves generally west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, remaining well 
offshore of the coast of Mexico. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

2. Well South-Southwest of the Baja California Peninsula (EP97):
Satellite-derived wind data indicate an area of low pressure located 
several hundred miles to the south-southwest of the southern tip of 
the Baja California peninsula is gradually becoming better defined. 
Although its shower and thunderstorm activity remains disorganized, 
environmental conditions appear conducive for some development, and 
a tropical depression could form during the next couple of days 
while the system meanders within weak steering currents. Thereafter, 
the system is forecast to interact with the disturbance (EP96) to 
its southeast, which should limit further development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
