000 ABPZ20 KNHC 180500 TWOEP Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1100 PM PDT Wed Oct 17 2018 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: An area of low pressure located south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec has changed little in organization over the past several hours. However, environmental conditions appear conducive for development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form during the next day or two. The system is forecast to move generally toward the west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph for the next several days, near or just offshore the coast of southern Mexico. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent. An elongated area of low pressure located about 900 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula has become less defined since yesterday and is producing only limited shower activity. Development of this system, if any, should be slow to occur during the next few days while the system remains nearly stationary or drifts slowly northeastward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Zelinsky
