Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Thu Jun 17 2021
For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:
1. Recent satellite-derived winds indicate that the area of low
pressure located about a couple hundred miles south of Acapulco,
Mexico is becoming better defined. In addition, shower and
thunderstorm activity is gradually becoming better organized. A
tropical depression is expected to form later this morning while the
system moves west-northwestward at 5 to 10 mph. Regardless of
development, heavy rains are likely over coastal sections of the
Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco
during the next few days, which could cause life-threatening flash
floods and mudslides. Interests in these areas should monitor the
progress of this system through the weekend, and tropical storm
watches and warnings could be needed for a portion of the Mexican
coastline later today.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...near 100 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...near 100 percent.
