I would just like to see the basin reach the Greek. Might as well do that too while breaking the ACE record. Hopefully all future storms stay away from Mexico though. Some of these model runs are looking ominous for Mexico/Baja.

Absolutely, the basin has been overrun with handsome men this year. Not to mention Sergio.
And yes, Walaka is Hawaiian for "Walter"

ACE record looks to be a lock if the current Invest develops and is more than just a brief system, but kind of afraid of the one behind it. Too early to say but I can't say that our category four record won't be stretched a little further before season end.

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

11pm PDT

A low pressure area is forecast to develop a few hundred miles south
of the southeastern coast of Mexico around the middle of next week.
Environmental conditions are expected to be somewhat favorable for
development of the system while it moves generally westward,
parallel to the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

Someone said this may be the biggie of the 2018 season and it may happen as the models are very bullish.

0% / 60%

A low pressure area is forecast to develop a few hundred miles south
of the southeastern coast of Mexico around the middle of next week.
Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for the
development of tropical depression by the end of the week while the
system moves generally westward, parallel to the coast of Mexico.

* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

This is probably the it storm of the EPAC season. Patricia is a rare perfect set up so beating that is low probability but a Rick or Linda type storm is in play.

It will likely effect MX and then the south-central states so hopefully we get some recon missions into the storm.

12z Euro doe not bomb this because it tracks close to the Mexican coast However,once it moves away it gets stronger at the end of run.

If what the models have pans out,it will be the EPAC making history with the most ACE units ever well over 300.

EPAC will be well over 300. A Mexican Riviera cruiser that is a major will easily tack on 15 units at least.

An area of low pressure is forecast to develop a couple of hundred
miles south of Guatemala and the southeastern coast of Mexico in a
few days. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for
the development of tropical depression by the end of the week while
the system moves west-northwestward, parallel to the coast of
Mexico.

5 AM PDT TWO:

An area of low pressure is forecast to develop a couple of hundred

around mid-week. Environmental conditions are forecast to be
conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to
form by late week while the system moves west-northwestward near the
southern coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Tara will be a short lived system but will help break the ACE record. Vincente will be the bigger one that gets the EPAC over 300 ACE. The first 300+ season in the western hemisphere.

If the 12z GFS pans out,the ACE will be on the roof for future Vicente and of course makes EPAC have a historic record. It goes more west than past runs doing a Sergio like thing after reaching around 120W turning towards Baja California causing the spike of ACE.

A new area.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM PDT Mon Oct 15 2018

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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Tara, located just off the coast of southwestern Mexico.

1. A weak area of low pressure located about 900 miles south-southwest
of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula is producing
disorganized shower activity. Some slow development of this system
is possible while it drifts northward or north-northeastward during
the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

2. An area of low pressure is forecast to develop a couple of hundred
miles south of Guatemala and the southeastern coast of Mexico
in a couple of days. Environmental conditions are forecast to be
conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to
form by the end of the week while the system moves west-
northwestward near the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.
