East Pacific Tropical Weather Outlook

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude..
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on
recently-upgraded Hurricane Hernan...located about 865 miles
southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.
A broad area of low pressure associated with a well-defined tropical
wave located over the far eastern Pacific a couple hundred miles
south of El Salvador is showing some signs of organization.
This system could become a tropical depression later today or
tomorrow...and conditions thereafter appear favorable for further
development.  The system is forecast to move west-northwestward at
15 to 20 mph on a track relatively close to the coast of
Mexico...and interests along the Pacific coast of southeastern
Mexico should monitor the progress of this system.
Another broad area of low pressure located about 600 miles
south of Manzanillo Mexico is producing a large but disorganized
area of cloudiness and thunderstorms. Slow development of this
system is possible during the next couple of days as it moves
westward at about 15 mph.
An area of low pressure located about 1250 miles east-southeast
of the Hawaiian islands.  While this system is currently producing
only limited and disorganized shower activity...slow development is
possible during the next couple of days as it moves slowly
west-northwestward at about 10 mph.
Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.
