THE EASTERN PACIFIC — TWO AREAS AT 90 PERCENT, AND A THIRD RISING OFF HAWAII

Two storms that do not exist yet are near certain by midweek. EP99, about 400 mi south-south-west of Manzanillo, at 90 percent over 48 hours and 90 percent over 7 days, moving north, with the south-western and west-central Mexican coast advised to monitor. EP98, well south-west of Baja, also 90/90. The former TD Fifteen-E east-south-east of Hawaii is near 0 percent at 48 hours and 60 percent over 7 days. Up from 80/80 and 70/80.

28 turning points on record since Aug 16 — the 8 most recent shown.

The tropical energy is in the Pacific — and both basins said so in advance.
