Tropical Storm Emilia forms over the eastern Pacific, 97E expected to develop

Tropical Storm Emilia forms over the eastern Pacific, 97E expected to develop

Comments 0 Comment

Invest 96E over the eastern Pacific has developed into Tropical Storm Emilia – the fifth named storm of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season, all of which have formed in June. The average fifth named storm in the eastern Pacific basin does not form, on average, until July 22. While Emilia is not likely to become a hurricane, a tropical wave to the east (designated Invest 97E) is likely to become a stronger storm than Emilia (though the intensity guidance has…

Daniel a remnant low, Emilia and Fabio likely to form later this week, watching off the East Coast for potential development

A tropical cyclone outbreak is likely to begin in the eastern Pacific very soon. Tropical Storm Daniel has degenerated into a post-tropical remnant low, but two systems to the east of Daniel are expected to develop into tropical depressions by late this week, but should remain far from any land areas. In the Atlantic, we are continuing to watch the potential for a non-tropical low to gain tropical characteristics off the east coast of the United States later this week….

The 2018 Pacific hurricane season continues to have a hot start. While Tropical Storm Daniel has begun to weaken and should dissipate by Wednesday, two more named storms – Emilia and Fabio – are likely to develop over the eastern Pacific by the end of June. In the Atlantic, there are no disturbances that the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are monitoring for development, but some global models are hinting at the possibility of development off the United States east coast…

Saturday evening, Tropical Depression Five-E formed over the eastern Pacific far from land. This morning, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Daniel. Daniel is likely to strengthen a bit more before weakening begins on Monday as the tropical storm reaches cooler water. As of 8:00 a.m. PDT (11:00 a.m. EDT), Tropical Storm Daniel was centered near 16.0N 115.9W, and was moving northward at about 10 mph. Maximum sustained winds were 35 knots (40 mph), with an estimated minimum pressure of…

Global tropics now quiet, as Carlotta dissipates

Global tropics now quiet, as Carlotta dissipates

Comments 0 Comment

With the dissipation of Tropical Storm Carlotta, the tropics are now quiet with no tropical cyclone development predicted in either the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific over the next five days. Global models also show no development, either. It is not uncommon to see a lull in the tropics, and it appears as if we are headed for one. I will be back with another post by sometime next week, or sooner if the threat of tropical cyclogenesis returns to the…

Carlotta meandering near Mexico coast, Gulf disturbance poorly organized

Carlotta meandering near Mexico coast, Gulf disturbance poorly organized

Comments 0 Comment

After a brief period of organization Saturday night in which an eyewall was visible in radar imagery, Tropical Storm Carlotta has weakened significantly this morning. The tiny tropical storm may not even make landfall in Mexico before it degenerates into a remnant low. In the Atlantic, the area of disturbed weather Gulf of Mexico remains poorly organized, and a low-level circulation does not exist. After Carlotta and this Gulf of Mexico disturbance, there should be a lull in activity over…

Tropical Storm Carlotta over the Eastern Pacific has moved slower than anticipated and remains offshore southern Mexico. In the Atlantic, a trough is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity near the Yucatan Peninsula, and has a low chance to develop into a tropical cyclone by Monday as it approaches the Texas coast. Carlotta remains offshore Mexico but likely to move inland tonight or early tomorrow As of 1:00 p.m. CDT (2:00 p.m. EDT) Saturday, Tropical Storm Carlotta was centered near…

Bud a Tropical Depression, Four-E now TS Carlotta, a new Caribbean disturbance to watch

Comments 0 Comment

Now a tropical depression, once-powerful Bud is barely holding on to its status as a tropical cyclone over the narrow Gulf of California. To the east of Bud, Tropical Depression Four-E has strengthened into Tropical Storm Carlotta, and is expected to make landfall in the Mexican state of Guerrero or Oaxaca early Saturday morning. In the Atlantic, a sharp surface trough has developed near the northeastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, and is expected to merge with the remnants of…

TS Bud headed for Baja California Sur, another eastern Pacific tropical depression

Comments 0 Comment

The active period in the eastern Pacific continues. Tropical Storm Bud is approaching Baja California Sur this evening, and is expected to make two landfalls (one in Baja California Sur late tonight and a second along the coast of Mainland Mexico late Friday night as a tropical depression). To the east of Bud, a new tropical depression has developed, the fourth of the season for the eastern Pacific basin. In the Atlantic, Invest 91L is little threat to develop, but…

Bud weakens to a tropical storm, 93E may develop, 91L unlikely to develop

Hurricane Bud weakened to a tropical storm on Wednesday morning as it tracked northwestward over cooler waters. Bud should continue to gradually weaken over the next couple of days as it approaches the Baja California peninsula. To the east of Bud, an area of low pressure has developed (designated Invest 93E) and could gradually develop into a tropical depression by Saturday. Invest 91L remains active over the Northwestern Caribbean, but is unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone due to…
