Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Storm Lala, located a couple hundred miles west-southwest of Lihue,

South of Mexico:
An area of low pressure is likely to form several hundred miles 
south of the coast of southern Mexico towards the end of the week. 
Gradual development of this system is expected, and a tropical 
depression is likely to form by this weekend as the system moves 
west-northwestward while staying south of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

Western Portion of the East Pacific:
A broad area of low pressure could form well to the southeast of the 
Hawaiian Islands during the latter part of the week. Environmental 
conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, 
and a tropical depression could form towards the end of the week or 
over the weekend as the system moves generally westward across the 
western portion of the east Pacific and into the central Pacific.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
