Invest 93E in the Eastern Pacific has become better organized today, and is very close to becoming a tropical depression. 93E has a very large convective canopy, but lacks a central dense overcast.  This could be the reason why it has not yet been classified as a tropical depression. The National Hurricane Center gives 93E a 90 percent chance of development, both within 48 hours and five days. They also said that advisories could be initiated tonight if the organization…
