Tropical Storm Erika continues moving west-northwestward over the Atlantic, southwest of Puerto Rico (IR image above is from 1030 UTC). This morning's forecast from NHC (below) indicates that Erika will become a hurricane and then threaten Florida by early next week - so there will be much attention directed toward this storm as the month draws to a close.
In the eastern Pacific Hurricane Ignacio is out near 140 degrees west and is moving off toward Hawaii. Tropical Storm Jimena is near 117 degrees west (IR image above from 11 UTC - note the early morning MCS over Sonora). Jimena is forecast to become a hurricane, and the graphic below indicates that both storms are expected to remain far removed from the Southwest.
