Tropical Weather Outlook
Statement as of
5:00 PM PDT on May 18, 2013
For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude..
An area of low pressure...associated with the remnants of Alvin...is
located about 900 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja
California Mexico. Although satellite data indicate the low-level
circulation continues to be well-defined...shower and thunderstorm
activity remains disorganized. Any development of this low is
expected to be limited due to unfavorable upper-level winds. This
system has a medium chance...30 percent...of becoming a tropical
cyclone again during the next 48 hours as it moves westward at
10 to 15 mph.
Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during
the next 48 hours.
