     This is pretty odd.  I was looking at the GFS RH (relative humidity, 
700mB) charts just now to determine the path of Harvey and happened to notice 
that a very moist low-pressure system is forecast to appear off the tip of Baja 
and then move NNW along the Pacific coast, arriving due west of Punta Eugenia a 
week from this Sunday.

     NHC does not show this in their forecast, and nothing appears on the 
current surface analysis charts to suggest such a system, except for a tropical 
wave that is currently west of Nicaragua, but there is no low associated with 
this feature.

     I'll be keeping a watch on this.
