Summary

Two of these are in the Atlantic near Africa, and three are in the Pacific, including one close to Hawaii with a high chance of developing into a tropical depression.Key Facts

- One Pacific system near Hawaii has a 90% chance of becoming a tropical depression in a few days.
- Other Pacific systems off Baja California and southwestern Mexico have 50% and 10% chances, respectively.
