Environmental conditions still appear conducive, however, for further development, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the next couple of days while the system meanders or drifts northward a few hundred miles offshore of the coast of southwestern Mexico. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent. A small low pressure area located a couple of hundred miles south-southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec has changed little during the past several hours while producing only limited showers and thunderstorms. Conditions appear conducive for additional development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the next couple of days while it moves slowly northwestward, near or parallel to the southwestern coast of Mexico. Regardless of development, areas of heavy rainfall and flash flooding are likely in southeastern Mexico and northern Central America during the next several days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent. && For more information on the system several hundred miles south of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI, WMO header FZPN02 KWBC, and on the web at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFEPI.php $$ Forecaster Roberts
