Watching a low in the Eastern North Pacific

It might be a couple of days before the start of the Eastern North Pacific hurricane season, which runs from May 15th through November 30th, but the National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure that is located several hundred miles southwest of the southern coast of Mexico.

The low is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. At this point, it appears as though development is possible over the next couple of days.

A tropical depression or tropical storm could form over the weekend or early next week.

The low has a 60 percent chance of forming.

The first named storm this year will be Andres.
