Tropical Depression Thirteen-E formed over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean southwest of Baja California on Friday afternoon.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Depression Thirteen-E was located at latitude 11.2\u00b0N and longitude 128.4\u00b0W which put the center about 1460 miles (2350 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 The tropical depression was moving toward the west at 7 m.p.h. (11 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
A low pressure system over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean southwest of Baja California strengthened on Saturday afternoon and the U.S. National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Depression Thirteen-E.\u00a0 More thunderstorms formed near the center of Tropical Depression Thirteen-E on Friday afternoon.\u00a0 Other bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the center of the tropical depression.\u00a0 Storms near the center of circulation generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the tropical depression.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Thirteen-E will move through an environment that will be somewhat favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 The tropical depression will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 28\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the western part of an upper level ridge over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The upper level ridge will produce easterly winds that will blow toward the top of the depression’s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause some vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The wind shear will inhibit intensification, but the shear may not be enough to prevent intensification.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Thirteen-E could intensify to a tropical storm during the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Thirteen-E will move south of a high pressure system over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer the tropical depression toward the west during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Depression Thirteen-E will move farther away from Baja California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
