For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Polo, about 200 miles offshore of southern Mexico, and on Tropical 
Storm Odalys, located well west-southwest of the southern tip of 
Baja California.
Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (Former TD 15-E):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with the remnants of Tropical 
Depression Fifteen-E, located a few hundred miles south-southeast 
the Big Island of Hawaii, have become better organized. 
Environmental conditions remain conducive for development, and a 
tropical depression could form tonight or Wednesday while the system 
moves slowly west-northwestward. Heavy rains associated with this 
system are forecast to spread over the southeastern Hawaiian Islands 
starting on Wednesday and continuing through Saturday, possibly 
resulting in life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides for 
portions of the Big Island and Maui. Interests in the Hawaiian 
Islands should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
South of the Gulf of Tehuantepec:
An area of low pressure is expected to form in a couple of days to 
the south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Afterwards, environmental 
conditions should be favorable for gradual development, and a 
tropical depression is likely to form late this week or this weekend 
as the system moves slowly west-northwestward to northwestward, 
parallel to the coast of southern and southwestern Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.
