National Hurricane Center forecasters Monday were monitoring two areas of disturbed weather in the Eastern Pacific.
The first was a large area of disturbed weather about 750 miles south of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula that remained poorly organized Monday afternoon, forecasters said. Some development is expected as the storm heads west-northwest and possibly merges with a low pressure system located to its west. It has a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression within five days.
An elongated area of low pressure about 2,100 miles southeast of the Big Island is gradually become less organized, and development of this weather system is not expected through Friday.
No tropical cyclones are expected to form within the Central Pacific, which is where Hawaii is located, through Wednesday afternoon, Central Pacific Hurricane Center forecasters said Monday.
The Central Pacific and Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons continue through Nov. 30.
