The development chances for an area of low pressure off the southern coast of Mexico continue to increase, and a tropical depression is likely to form this weekend. FOX Weather Meteorologists Stephen Morgan and Marissa Torres break down the latest on June 5, 2025.
A new area to watch for tropical development is being monitored in the eastern Pacific, joining another system that is likely to become a tropical depression or even Tropical Storm Barbara in the coming days.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), a broad area of low pressure located a few hundred miles off the southern coast of Mexico is continuing to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Odds are high and still growing that at least a tropical depression will form from this system by the weekend.

But forecasters have added a second splotch of ocean to watch where a second area of low pressure may form on the western side of an elongated trough in a few days. While nothing is expected in the next 48 hours, the NHC is now giving a low chance of a tropical depression or storm forming off southwestern Mexico over the next week.
