For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:
1. A broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles south of
the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula continues to
produce a large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms. Conditions
appear favorable for development, and a tropical depression is
expected to form during the next couple of days while the system
meanders or drifts northward a few hundred miles offshore of the
coast of southwestern Mexico. For more information on this system
see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service under
AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header FZPN02 KWBC, and on the web at
ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
2. The circulation of a low pressure area located a couple of hundred
miles south-southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec has become better
defined, but the associated shower and thunderstorm activity is
currently limited. Conditions appear conducive for additional
development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to
form within the next couple of days while it moves slowly
northwestward, near or parallel to the southwestern coast of Mexico.
Regardless of development, areas of heavy rainfall and flash
flooding are likely in southeastern Mexico and northern Central
America during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
