Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Tue Jul 24 2018

For the eastern North Pacific…east of 140 degrees west longitude:

1. Shower activity associated with a small low pressure area located
more than 1700 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja
California Peninsula has decreased and tropical cyclone formation is
no longer anticipated. The system most likely will degenerate into a
trough of low pressure and move into the Central Pacific basin in a
day or so.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…near 0 percent.

2. Although the shower activity associated with a weak low pressure
area located several hundred miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico has
increased some in organization this morning, no significant
development is expected during the next day or two. However,
conditions could become a little more favorable for tropical cyclone
formation by this weekend while the system moves toward the west or
west-northwest away from the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…30 percent.
