Post-Tropical Cyclone Dalila is centered near 18.6N 109.2W at 16/0300 UTC, moving west-northwest at 8 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 30 kt with gusts to 40 kt. Peak seas are estimated at 15 ft or 4.5 meters. No deep convection is present with Dalila. A gradual turn towards the west is expected tonight, followed by continued westward motion for another day or two. Continued slow weakening is expected during the next couple of days. Dalila is forecast to dissipate late Tue or early Wed. Swells generated by Dalila will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico tonight. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National Hurricane Center at website - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml and the latest Dalila NHC Forecast/Advisory and Public Advisory at www.hurricanes.gov for more details. Offshore of Central America and Southeastern Mexico (Invest EP94): A broad 1009 mb area of low pressure located near 09.5N88.5W continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms over and offshore of Central America. Associated winds are locally to 25 kt with seas to 8 ft. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form in a couple of days while it moves west-northwestward near the coasts of El Salvador, Guatemala, and southeastern Mexico. Interests in these locations should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, areas of heavy rain are likely across portions of Central America and southeastern Mexico during the next few days. This system has a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation through the next 48 hours, and a high chance through the next 7 days.
