A low pressure area is expected to form well south of the coast of
Mexico early next week. Environmental conditions should support
gradual development of the system while it moves west-northwestward
at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent

Another broad area of low pressure located about 1050 miles
south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula
is producing a large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers.
Some slow development of this system is possible during the
next several days while it moves northwestward at about 10 mph.

* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent

Is that future 97E or currently 96E?

Euro was showing something similar but weaker.

What the ECMWF shows is 95E.

What the GFS shows is 10 days out and future 97E.

3. Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located several hundred
miles south of the coast of southwestern Mexico are associated with
a tropical wave. Environmental conditions are expected to be
conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression is
likely to form late this week while this system moves westward and
then west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent

Doubt the CPAC can handle a cat. 5 this year. Maybe until 145W.

It could IMO if the shear is low.

Vertical instability is above the climatological average for this time of the year in the CPAC, shear is also not too high and FWIW,
the maximum potential intensity maps support a category 5 SE of Hawaii and in the deep tropics near the IDL.
It is possible, but the setup has to be quite perfect for this to happen.

CMC, ECMWF, FIM8, FIM9, and UKMET all show some sort of TC behind 13E.

New area of possible development next week.

1. An area of low pressure is expected to form several hundred miles
southwest of Mexico over the weekend. Environmental conditions
could be conducive for some development early next week while the
system moves to the west or west-northwest at about 10 mph.
