Gradual development of this system is anticipated during the next few days, and a tropical depression is expected to form late this weekend or early next week while it moves generally west- northwestward well off the coast of Mexico. There is a medium chance of tropical formation within the next two days, and a high chance within the next seven days. Please refer to the latest NHC Tropical Weather Outlook at wwww.hurricanes.gov for more details. ...TROPICAL WAVES...
