1. An elongated area of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles

the next couple of days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

2. A well-defined low pressure system located more 900 miles southwest
of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula continues to
produce a large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms. Environmental
conditions are expected to gradually improve, and a tropical
depression could form during the next few days while the system
moves westward to west-northwestward at about 10 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
