Storm Lowell, located well east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. 
Well Offshore of Southwestern Mexico:
An area of disturbed weather, associated with a tropical wave, is 
located well to the south of southwestern Mexico. This system is 
expected to continue to move west-northwestward to northwestward at 
10 to 15 mph. Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual 
development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to 
form during the early to middle part of next week.

* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
Central Pacific:
An area of low pressure could form well south or southwest of the 
Hawaiian Islands in the next couple of days. Some gradual 
development is possible thereafter while it moves slowly westward 
across the central Pacific.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
