625 ABPZ20 KNHC 161733 TWOEP Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1100 AM PDT Sun Sep 16 2018 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: A broad and elongated area of low pressure is centered a few hundred miles south of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Although environmental conditions appear conducive for tropical cyclone formation, the large size of the system suggests that development should be slow to occur. This system will likely become a tropical depression later this week while it moves generally northwestward at about 10 mph. Interests in Baja California Sur should monitor the progress of this disturbance. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent. A small area of low pressure located about 600 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula is producing an area of showers and thunderstorms to the west of the center. Significant development of this system is unlikely due to unfavorable environmental conditions. This system is expected to move slowly west-southwestward during the next couple of days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Cangialosi
