Low pressure area west of Hurricane Sergio
Catching the eyes of some keen observers this afternoon is an area of convection situated west of Major Hurricane Sergio. The system does not look too impressive, but the reason I bring it up is because it may have, and may still be, organized enough to be considered a tropical cyclone, which would be particularly interesting as the system is not designated at this time. Scatterometer data from throughout the day has supported that the system is closed at the surface, with a decently well organized wind flow. The low is analyzed with a pressure of 1008 mb, and winds look to be in the 20-25 kt range. Does not look like it'll last long, but it is a transient meteorological curiosity for now.

Re: Low pressure area west of Hurricane Sergio
They mentioned it on the 2 PM PDT Sergio discussion.
It is of interest to note that a small disturbance currently
located a few hundred n mi to the west-southwest of Sergio is
expected to be drawn into the larger circulation of the hurricane
overnight.
