For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude..


A well-defined low pressure system located about 260 miles south of

Manzanillo Mexico has become much better organized and a tropical

depression or a tropical storm may be forming.  Advisories on this

system will be initiated at 8 PM PDT later this evening. Regardless

of development...heavy rains will likely spread across portions of

southeastern Mexico and produce localized floods during the next

day or two.


Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the

next 48 hours.
