A Quiet Month In The Tropical Eastern Pacific


The last named tropical storm in the eastern Pacific was Hurricane Greg - 16 through 19 August. The month since Greg has been quiet, with the tropical action occurring in the Atlantic Basin.


Today's outlook from NHC indicates a moderate chance for a disturbed area off the far southwestern coast of Mexico to develop - see above.


The area of interest is captured in the visible image above, which shows the disturbance to be centered around longitude 95 W, south of Mexico. Will be interesting to observe whether the Pacific becomes active again. The last eastern Pacific storm of 2010 was Georgette (September 20-23, 2010) - which formed south of Cabo San Lucas and moved northward up the southern half of the GoC - her remnants brought some rain to southeastern Arizona.
