For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Lala, located a few hundred miles southeast of Lisianski Island.

Central Pacific (EP90):
An area of low pressure located well to the east-southeast of the 
Hawaiian Islands is producing showers and thunderstorms that 
continue to show signs of organization. Environmental conditions 
appear favorable for further development of this system, and a 
tropical depression is likely to form during the next day or so as 
the system moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph and 
crosses into the Central Pacific. Interests in the Hawaiian Islands 
should closely monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

South-Southwest of Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form several hundred miles 
south-southwest of the coast of southern Mexico around the end of 
the week. Gradual development of this system is likely thereafter, 
and a tropical depression is expected to form this weekend while the 
system moves generally west-northwestward, remaining well offshore 
of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
