For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Polo, located less than 150 miles offshore of southwestern 
Mexico, on Hurricane Odalys, located well west-southwest of the 
southern tip of Baja California, and on recently upgraded Tropical 
Storm Nolo, located a few hundred miles south of the Big Island of 
Hawaii.
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 over the weekend or early next 
week 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...80 percent.
Well East-Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands:
An area of low pressure could form about 1000 miles east-southeast 
of the Hawaiian Islands over the weekend. Environmental conditions 
could support some gradual development of this system thereafter as 
it moves generally northeastward, remaining well east-southeast of 
the Hawaiian Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
