is heading toward unfavorable upper-level winds. The low is expected
to move westward at 15 to 20 mph and cross into the Central Pacific

showing any signs of organization at this time, conditions are
forecast to become favorable for development and a tropical
depression could form early next week. This disturbance is expected
to move toward the west-northwest at 15 to 20 mph during the next
several days.
