EPAC should develop

[Derek Ortt]

EPAC will most likely become a tropical cyclone either today or tomorrow. I do have a little concern about this if the system develops from the northern cluster as this would bring some heavy rainfall and mudslides to Mexico

[cycloneye]

Yes this system distint to Andres that was a fish storm may be of a big impact in terms of heavy rains in the mexican coast and inland.

Although that sat. doesn't show what I am seeing on others, it looks a little better organized. It is also hanging near the coast giving that area some rain. Some of that may work inland a little later.

[Derek Ortt]

Looks as if it may make landfall before it will have the chance to develop. A bit surprised it hasn't organized further (though am still trying to figure out how SSD is giving it a too weak classification, the thing looks be be about a 1.5 based upon the weak banding). If the cenetr can become a bit better defined, it may still become a TD before landfall

[wx247]

I agree Derek. It looks to be too close to Mexico to become a TS, but it might still become a TD.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

4 PM PDT SUN JUN 1 2003

FOR THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC...EAST OF 140 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE..

A LARGE TROPICAL DISTURBANCE HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED
ABOUT 120 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF ACAPULCO MEXICO. THIS SYSTEM HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT DAY
OR SO...BUT CLOSE PROXIMITY TO LAND WILL LIKELY PREVENT ANY RAPID
DEVELOPMENT FROM OCCURRING. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THIS SYSTEM
COULD MOVE INLAND DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS BEFORE IT IS ABLE TO
DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE. HOWEVER...HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTH-CENTRAL COAST OF
MEXICO. FLOODING AND MUD SLIDES WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM PUERTO ANGEL
TO ACAPULCO AS THE SYSTEM MOVES SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD.

[cycloneye]

Time is running out for it to be a Td because it is closing on the coast but still it is possible that it may be a TD just before it arrives on the coast but for sure heavy rains for that area.

[PTrackerLA]

Is there any chance that some of the moisture from this system could work its way up to Texas and Louisiana?

[wx247]

Looks like this thing may come onshore before it becomes a TD just by looking at the latest sat. image. Looks like some flooding rains for areas east of the center.
