For the central North Pacific...between 140W and 180W:

1. Approximately 1700 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms are associated with a broad
trough of low pressure located well west-southwest of the southern
tip of the Baja California peninsula. While this system may
interact with another disturbance to its west-southwest over the
next several days, some gradual development is forecast assuming it
becomes the dominant disturbance. A tropical depression is likely
to form during the middle part of next week while the system moves
westward to west-northwestward over the western portion of the
basin and into the Central Pacific basin by the end of the week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.


2. Approximately 1200 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii:
A small area of low pressure located well southeast of the Hawaiian
Islands is associated with some disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Some development of this system is possible early
next week while it moves slowly over the western portion of the
East Pacific or in the Central Pacific basin. By the middle of next
week, this disturbance could merge with an area of low pressure
developing to its east.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.



Elsewhere, no tropical cyclones are expected during the next 7 days.
