000 ABPZ20 KNHC 180535 TWOEP Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1100 PM PDT Thu Jun 17 2021 For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude: Recent satellite-derived winds indicate that the area of low pressure located about a couple hundred miles south of Acapulco, Mexico is becoming better defined. In addition, shower and thunderstorm activity is gradually becoming better organized. A tropical depression is expected to form later this morning while the system moves west-northwestward at 5 to 10 mph. Regardless of development, heavy rains are likely over coastal sections of the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco during the next few days, which could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this system through the weekend, and tropical storm watches and warnings could be needed for a portion of the Mexican coastline later today. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...near 100 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...near 100 percent. $$ Forecaster Papin/Blake
