low pressure located a few hundred miles south-southeast of
Acapulco, Mexico, is becoming better organized. If this development
trend continues, then a tropical depression or tropical storm could
form later today or tonight. This system will continue to move
west-northwest near or just offshore of the coast of Mexico for the
next few days. Interests along the southwestern coast of Mexico
