An eye developed in Julio and it has been upgraded to hurricane status.  Even though Julio is located 600 miles north of Hawaii, it is over Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) that are warm enough to support a hurricane.  The upper level winds around Julio are light enough to allow for Julio to maintain a warm core.  Eventually, wind shear should increase and cooler SSTs will likely weaken Julio back to a tropical storm.

A new tropical depression has formed west of Mexico.  Tropical Depression Eleven-E (TD11E) is about 385 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico and about 400 miles south of the southern tip of Baja, California.  it is moving toward the west-northwest at 16 m.p.h.  It is expected to intensify and if it becomes a tropical storm its name will be Karina.  Some numerical models are showing that it could eventually move in the general direction of Hawaii.
