500 PM PDT Fri Sep 27 2019

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

A rather large area of disturbed weather extends from Central
America westward along the southwest coast of Mexico. A broad area
of low pressure is trying to form south-southeast of Acapulco in
association with this disturbance, but there is no evidence of a
well defined center at this time. Environmental conditions are very
favorable for a tropical depression or a tropical storm to form
within this area of disturbed weather during the next day or so,
while it moves west-northwestward to northwestward at about 10 mph
near the southwestern coast of Mexico. Interests along this portion
of the coast should monitor the progress of the disturbance, since
tropical storm watches or warnings could be required at any time on
Saturday. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall, with the
possibility of flash flooding and mudslides, is expected near the
southwestern coast of Mexico during the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

An area of low pressure is expected to form over the far
southwestern portion of the eastern North Pacific by early next
week. Some gradual development is possible thereafter while the
system drifts slowly eastward or northeastward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

A low pressure system appears to be forming a few hundred miles
south-southeast of Acapulco, Mexico. Although the associated shower
and thunderstorm activity is not well organized, this system is
likely to become a tropical depression or tropical storm during the
next couple of days while it moves west-northwestward to
northwestward at about 10 mph near the southern and southwestern
coast of Mexico. Interests along this portion of the coast should
monitor the progress of the disturbance since tropical storm watches
or warnings could be required at any time during the next couple of

possibility of flash flooding and mudslides, is expected near the

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

A small area of low pressure located a few hundred miles southwest
of Manzanillo, Mexico, is producing very little shower activity.
The low is expected to be absorbed by the larger weather
disturbance near the coast of Mexico during the next day or so, and
therefore development is not expected.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low... near 0 percent.

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

A small but well-defined low pressure system located a few hundred
miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, is producing limited shower
activity. Although some slight development of the low is still
possible today, it is expected to become absorbed by a larger
weather disturbance near the coast of Mexico during the next couple
of days, and the chance of tropical cyclone formation appears to be
decreasing.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located near
the southern and southwestern coast of Mexico is associated with an
elongated surface trough. A low pressure system is forecast to
develop along this trough during the next day or two, and it is
likely to become a tropical depression or tropical storm this
weekend or early next week while moving west-northwestward to
northwestward at about 10 mph near the southern and southwestern
coast of Mexico. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall, with
the possibility of flash flooding and mudslides, is expected near
the Pacific coasts of Guatemala and Mexico during the next few days.

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

A small but well-defined low pressure system is located several
hundred miles south of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula. The low is currently producing no thunderstorms and
environmental conditions have become less conducive for tropical
cyclone formation. Some slight development is still possible later
today if thunderstorm activity increases while the system moves
quickly southeastward, however the low is expected to dissipate over
the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

A broad area of showers and thunderstorms is located near the
Pacific coasts of southern Mexico and Central America. This
disturbance is expected to move westward and will interact with an
elongated trough of low pressure just south of the coast of Mexico
during the next day or two. A tropical depression or tropical storm
is subsequently likely to form over the weekend or early next week
near the southern or southwestern coast of Mexico. Regardless of
development, the system is forecast to move west-northwestward to
northwestward along the coast of Mexico and will likely produce
heavy rainfall with the possibility of flash flooding and mudslides.
Heavy rainfall is also possible along the Pacific coast of Central
America through today.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

The initial intensity was lowered to 35 kt, though ADT and ASCAT passes just coming in suggest this may be a bit generous. Strong southwest shear is expected to continue to prevent the development of persistent deep convection through the forecast period. This will allow the low-level center to turn westward, and then southwestward following the trade wind flow and weaken. The current forecast lies very close to the previous one. Without deep convection, Kiko's wind field should continue to steadily spin down. Kiko will be moving into the central Pacific basin this afternoon and subsequent advisories will be issued by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

An elongated surface trough is expected to form within a couple of
hundred miles of the southwestern coast of Mexico during the next
several days. An area of low pressure is likely to form along this
trough, and it could become a tropical depression over the weekend
while moving slowly west-northwestward near the southwestern coast
of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

Another area of low pressure could form several hundred miles
south-southwest of southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in
a day or two. Some development is possible later this week while
the system moves slowly northward or northeastward. This system is
likely to be absorbed over the weekend by the larger system that is
expected to develop near the southwestern coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
