According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), an area of low pressure could form by the upcoming weekend and into early next week several hundred miles south of the southern coast of Mexico.

After that, the NHC said conditions appear favorable for some development of the system while it moves west to west-northwest at around 10-15 mph.

Right now, the NHC is giving the system a low chance of developing over the next seven days.
