A tropical depression is expected to form during the coming 48 hours in waters off the western coast of Mexico.
The area of shower and thunderstorm activity was located about 550 miles south of the Baja California peninsula Tuesday morning, National Hurricane Center forecasters said. Upper-level winds that have prevented organization of the weather system are expected to decrease and become more conducive for tropical cyclone development. The weather system is expected to be upgraded to a tropical depression within 48 hours as it moves toward the west-northwest at 10 mph.
Elsewhere in the Eastern Pacific, no tropical cyclone formation is expected during the next five days.
In the Central North Pacific, no tropical cyclones are expected through Thursday morning, according to forecasters with the Honolulu-based Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
The Central North Pacific and Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons continue through Nov. 30.
