Tropical Storm Fausto developed southwest of Baja California on Sunday morning.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Storm Fausto was located at latitude 20.7\u00b0N and longitude 119.6\u00b0W which put it about 640 miles (1020 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Fausto was moving toward the northwest at 15 m.p.h. (24 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1004 mb.<\/p>\n
More thunderstorms formed near the center of former Tropical Depression Eleven-E on Sunday morning and the National Hurricane Center upgraded the system to Tropical Storm Fausto.\u00a0 The distribution of thunderstorms around Fausto was asymmetrical.\u00a0 Many of the thunderstorms were occurring in bands in the northern half of the circulation.\u00a0 The strongest winds were occurring in those bands of thunderstorms.\u00a0 Bands in the southern half of the tropical storm consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 50 miles (80 km) in the northern half of the circulation.\u00a0 The wind in the southern half of the circulation was blowing at less than tropical storm force.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Fausto will move through an environment unfavorable for intensification.\u00a0 Fausto will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 25\u00b0C.\u00a0 An upper level trough west of Tropical Storm Fausto will produce southerly winds which will blow toward the top of the circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause vertical wind shear which will also inhibit potential intensification.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Faust is likely to weaken slowly when it moves over cooler water.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Fausto will move south of a high pressure system over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high will steer Fausto toward the west during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Fausto will move away from Baja California.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean, Tropical Depression Twelve-E spun up quickly south of Mexico and Tropical Depression Ten-E stalled between Mexico and Hawaii.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Twelve-E was located at latitude 11.3\u00b0N and longitude 97.3\u00b0W which put it about 525 miles (850 km) southeast of Zihuatanejo, Mexico.\u00a0 The depression was moving toward the north-northwest at 18 m.p.h. (30 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1005 mb.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Twelve-E is forecast to intensify quickly and it could strengthen into a major hurricane during the next several days.<\/p>\n
At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Ten-E was located at latitude 13.7\u00b0N and longitude 134.0\u00b0W which put it about 1700 miles (2735 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 The depression was moving toward the north-northwest at 3 m.p.h. (5 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1006 mb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
