Eastern Pacific Disturbance No. 2
As of Tuesday, Eastern Pacific Disturbance No. 2 is located a few hundred miles south of the coasts of Guatemala and El Salvador and is producing an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Gradual development of this disturbance is expected over the next several days, and the NHC said a tropical depression is likely to form later this week while it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, roughly parallel to the southern and southwestern coasts of Mexico.
According to the NHC, it has a 60% chance of development over the next 48 hours and an 90% chance over the next seven days. If it organizes enough to become a tropical storm, this system will earn the name Beatriz.
"Interests along the southwestern coast of Mexico should monitor the progress of this system during the next several days," the NHC warned in its tropical weather outlook on Tuesday.
