000 ABPZ20 KNHC 152321 TWOEP Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 500 PM PDT Sat Aug 15 2020 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Depression Ten-E, located more than 1500 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. An elongated area of low pressure is located several hundred miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. The associated showers and thunderstorms have not become any better organized during the past several hours, however, environmental conditions are favorable for the system to become a tropical depression later tonight or on Sunday while it moves generally northwestward. Development is not expected after that time as the system is forecast to move over cooler waters and into a drier environment. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent. Showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure system located a few hundred miles south-southeast of the Gulf of Tehuantepec are showing signs of organization. Although this low is still broad and elongated, environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm will likely form on Sunday. This system is expected to move generally west-northwestward, well offshore the southwestern coast of Mexico during the next few days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent. $$ Forecaster Cangialosi
