500 AM PDT Thu Jul 26 2018

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

1. Shower activity associated with an elongated area of low pressure
located a little more than 1000 miles southwest of the southern tip
of the Baja California peninsula has changed little in organization
during the past several hours. However, environmental conditions
are expected to support gradual development, and a tropical
depression could form during the next few days while the system
moves toward the west or west-northwest.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…medium…60 percent.

2. Showers and thunderstorms associated with a small low pressure
system are located around 1800 miles west-southwest of the southern
tip of the Baja California peninsula. This system is forecast to
move westward and only a small increase in organization could
result in the formation of a tropical depression later today or
early Friday before unfavorable upper-level winds become established
over the disturbance.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…medium…50 percent.
