Yet Another Tropical Storm In Pacific

Edited on Monday, October 21st to add: Raymond was upgraded to a hurricane last evening and, after intensifying rapidly during the night, is now classified as a Cat. 3 hurricane.


Tropical Storm Raymond developed off the coast of southern Mexico yesterday. The latest NHC forecast for Raymond is shown above. The storm is forecast to become a hurricane while drifting slowly north until midweek when it begins moving rapidly to the west-southwest. Below is a visible satellite image showing Raymond at 2045 UTC this afternoon (Sunday, October 20th). Note the eye structure present, indicating that Raymond may already be a hurricane.
