This one might be the most promising of the two, even though it doesn't have as much convection.

By the way, the link doesn't work.

AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER LOCATED ABOUT 400 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST
OF ACAPULCO MEXICO HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL HOURS. SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER
THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.


4:00 PM PDT Tropical Weather Outlook.

This tidbit was at the end of yesterday's 2205Z TWD (and carried into a couple of later ones) and did not bode well for this invest.

THE UPPER FLOW IS MAINLY ELY
OVER THE TROPICAL PACIFIC AND THUS HAS MADE THE ENVIRONMENT NOT
TOO FAVORABLE FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT. IN FACT...THE
ELY FLOW INCREASES E OF 110W THROUGH TUE THEN EXPANDS W WED AND
THU AND MAKES THE ENVIRONMENT EVEN MORE HOSTILE.


From today's 10 AM PDT TWO:

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS
LOCATED ABOUT 400 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF ACAPULCO MEXICO.
ALTHOUGH SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED A LITTLE THIS MORNING...
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR DUE TO
UNFAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS.

LOCATED ABOUT 400 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF ACAPULCO MEXICO HAS
CHANGED LITTLE TODAY DUE TO UNFAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS. FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.


The above is the 4:00 PM PDT Tropical Weather Outlook for this system.

Nobody cares for little old Invest 95E in the EPAC? Guess what, the NHC says this:

NHC wrote:AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 400 MILES SOUTHWEST
OF ACAPULCO MEXICO HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST FEW
HOURS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME A LITTLE MORE
FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
BECOME A DEPRESSION TONIGHT OR TOMORROW AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10
TO 15 MPH.


Tonight? I looked very good all day today with these very cold cloud tops forming in the center. It can become a depression very soon if this keeps up.

Well, doesn't that look like a TD to you? It's quite impressve if you ask me. I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see an upgrade at 11pm EDT, and would be very surprised if this wasn't classified by tomorrow morning when I get up.

If that was in the Atlantic then the NHC would have upgraded it already. I think the reason why they are not upgrading is because it isn't much of a hazard to people so what I think the NHC is doing is waiting a little longer for some more organization.

I hope I can say this about this system. But I hope it becomes a hurricane.

Hooray for me . . . though it was probably the most obvious call of the three upgrades they are making at 11pm here.
