It looks like the second part of this surge might end up with HU Pilar, TS Ramon, TS Walaka and HU Selma. Selma might and may be the one who will make a run as a October Cat. 4 (or high-end Cat. 3) major (continuing the streak of Paul, Raymond, Olaf, Simon and Seymour). Though Todd might make at it too.

My opinions are mine and SHOULD not be treated as an official source of information. PLEASE see National Hurricane Center, or any other meteorological agencies, for that matter. By the way, I was born and came from Indonesia, which is rarely hit by tropical cyclones, but regardless, I have LOTS of interest in meteorology.

A broad area of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles
east-southeast of Acapulco near the coast of Mexico is producing
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Land interaction should
limit development of this system during the next day or two, but
a tropical depression will likely form over the weekend when the
system moves farther offshore. Regardless of tropical cyclone
formation, heavy rains are expected over portions of southern
Mexico during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

We normally don't see this in September. Steering flow shifts from east-> west to west -> east due to sweeping troughs across the northern Pacific:

Going to be hard to muster any decent ACE if this continues and materializes.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Wed Sep 20 2017

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a broad area of low
pressure located just offshore of the southwest coast of Mexico
has increased, but remains disorganized. Environmental conditions
are expected to be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical
depression is likely to form in two to three days as the system
moves slowly toward the west-northwest. Regardless of tropical
cyclone formation, heavy rains are expected over portions of
southern Mexico during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

:uarrow: The GFS has had phantom storms form in the EPAC just west of C.A. on its med to long range forecast for the past couple of months, it has been 80-90% wrong.
Even the Euro has been forecasting phantom storms in in this area.

Has the CPHC issued any advisories this season? I feel like they haven't, but I can't quite recall.

Euro shows something of that nature as well. Could be another ghost though.

For the first year since 2014 the EPAC looks to finish below the annual ACE. July was the hot month then was shut down since. Storms struggled to survive once they left the eastern basin.

Yeah. Looks like ENSO has a strong and direct influence on EPAC activity than previously thought.
