Drought recovery in the Colorado River watershed
Tropical Weather Outlook issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 500 AM PDT Fri Nov 1 2024
A second disturbance on the radar Friday, these are the two systems that may materialize into tropical storms within a week.
For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:
1. Central East Pacific (EP92):
Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with an area of low
pressure located more than 1000 miles southwest of the southern tip
of the Baja California peninsula has continued to persist this
morning. Some further development of this system is possible during
the next couple of days while the low moves slowly westward. By
late this weekend, however, environmental conditions are expected
to become less conducive for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
2. Southwest of Southwestern Mexico:
An area of low pressure could form well offshore of southwestern
Mexico during the early to middle part of next week. Afterward,
some slow development is possible while the system drifts slowly
eastward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
