Low pressure system off coast of Mexico could become third named storm of the season

We are watching an area of low pressure that has developed within a larger-scale trough located several hundred miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with this system have become better organized today, and further development is now expected.

A tropical depression is likely to form by early next week as it moves slowly to the west-northwest well off the coast of Mexico.

  • Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…50 percent.
  • Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.
