Central East Pacific (EP93):
A broad area of low pressure located well south of southwestern 
Mexico continues to produce a large area of showers and 
thunderstorms. Although the system has not become better organized 
over the last several hours, environmental conditions are still 
expected to support gradual development of this system, and a 
tropical depression is likely to form tonight or on Thursday. The 
system is forecast to move west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, well 
offshore of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.

An area of low pressure located well to the east-southeast of the 
Hawaiian Islands has become slightly better organized over the last 
several hours. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual 
development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to 
form late this week or early this weekend while the system drifts to 
the northeast, before turning westward by early next week.
