An area of low pressure may develop off the coast of Central America and southern Mexico early next week.
The Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said Saturday environmental conditions might lead to 'some gradual development,' with a 50 per cent chance of a tropical depression forming within seven days as the system moves west-northwestward.
The chance of formation through 48 hours is near zero per cent, the centre said.
A category 3 major hurricane came ashore down southern Mexico's Pacific coast on Thursday. Hurricane Erick left a one-year-old boy dead before dissipating.
