For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Blas, located a few hundred miles southwest of the southwest coast
of Mexico.
1. Off the coast of Central America:
Satellite-derived surface wind data indicates that the area of low
pressure located a couple of hundred miles south of the coasts of
Guatemala and El Salvador is becoming better defined and has maximum
sustained winds of near 35 mph. Shower and thunderstorm activity
near this low is also showing signs of organization. If these trends
continue, a tropical depression could form as soon as this
afternoon. This system is forecast to drift erratically through the
weekend but begin a more pronounced westward motion by early next
week. Interests along the coast of southern El Salvador, Guatemala,
and extreme southeastern Mexico should closely monitor the progress
of this system. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains are
possible across portions of El Salvador, Guatemala, and southeastern
Mexico during the next several days.
