SMN and NHC Monitor Two Offshore Disturbances With Low Cyclone Odds

Neither disturbance poses a threat to Mexico due to unfavorable conditions at remote distances.

Overview

  • The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional and U.S. National Hurricane Center are tracking low-pressure zones in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
  • The Pacific system, about 2,385 km west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, has been designated Invest 94L by the NHC.
  • Cyclone formation probabilities are set at 20 percent for the Pacific disturbance and 10 percent for the Atlantic system over the next 48 hours and seven days.
  • Both systems are moving westward at roughly 16–24 km/h and are expected to remain far from Mexican coasts.
  • If either develops into a tropical storm, it would be named Gil in the Pacific or Dexter in the Atlantic under WMO naming conventions.
