An area of low pressure could form several hundred miles south of 
the coast of southern Mexico around the middle part of the week. 
Gradual development of this system is possible thereafter, and a 
tropical depression could develop towards the end of the week or 
over the weekend while the system moves west-northwestward, well 
south of Mexico.

A broad area of low pressure could form well to the southeast of the 
Hawaiian Islands during the middle to latter part of the week.

this system, and a tropical depression could form late this week 
while the system moves generally westward across the western portion 
of the east Pacific and into the central Pacific.
