south-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii.
Southwest of Mexico (EP92):
Showers and thunderstorms are becoming better organized in 
association with a broad area of low pressure located several 
hundred miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja 
California Peninsula. Environmental conditions are favorable for 
further development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is 
expected to form on Sunday as the system moves west-northwestward at 
10 to 15 mph.

Central East Pacific (EP91):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms are persisting with a broad 
area of low pressure located well to the south-southwest of the 
southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Environmental 
conditions could support the development of a short-lived tropical 
depression during the next day or two before it interacts or merges 
with the disturbance to its east (EP92).
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Another area of low pressure is expected to develop well south of

and a tropical depression could form by the end of next week while 
the system moves generally west-northwestward.
