HURRICANE WATCH: Tropical Depression Eight-E is located over 1,295 miles to the east of Hilo Hawaii. It will move west towards drier and more stable air and as a result it will continue to weaken.

Low pressure 1350 miles miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California has become better organized and should become a tropical depression and perhaps a tropical storm within the next 12-24 hours. All indications are that this evolving tropical cyclone will track through a very favorable environment conducive to further development as it moves northwest during the next several days well away from any major land mass.
