Tropical Depression Six-E formed over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean south of Mexico early on Sunday.\u00a0 At 5:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Six-E was located at latitude 13.0\u00b0N and longitude 99.5\u00b0W which put the center about 270 miles (435 km) south of Acapulco, Mexico.\u00a0 The tropical depression was moving toward the west at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 30 m.p.h. (50 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1008 mb.<\/p>\n
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the portion of the coast from Zihuatanejo to Manzanillo, Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n A low pressure system over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean south of Mexico strengthened early on Sunday and the U.S. National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Depression Six-E.<\/p>\n The circulation around Tropical Depression Six-E exhibited much more organization on Sunday morning.\u00a0 More thunderstorms developed near the center of the depression’s circulation.\u00a0 More thunderstorms also formed in bands revolving around the center of Tropical Depression Six-E.\u00a0 Storms near the center of circulation started to generate upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the tropical depression.\u00a0 The removal of mass caused the surface pressure to start to decrease.<\/p>\n Tropical Depression Six-E will move through an environment very favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 The tropical depression will move over water where where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the middle of an upper level ridge over southeastern Mexico and the adjacent part of the Eastern North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The upper level winds are weak near the middle of the ridge and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Six-E will intensify during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 It is likely to strengthen to a tropical storm by Monday.\u00a0 The tropical depression could intensify to a hurricane early next week.<\/p>\n Tropical Depression Six-E will move around the southwestern part of a high pressure system over southern Mexico.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer the tropical depression toward the west-northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Depression Six-E will move a little closer to the coast of southern Mexico.<\/p>\n Bands on the northern side of Tropical Depression Six-E will bring gusty winds and locally heavy rain to parts of the coast of southern Mexico.\u00a0 Heavy rains could cause flash floods in some locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tropical Depression Six-E formed over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean south of Mexico early on Sunday.\u00a0 At 5:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Six-E was located at latitude 13.0\u00b0N and longitude 99.5\u00b0W which put the center about 270 miles (435 km) south of Acapulco, Mexico.\u00a0 The tropical depression was moving toward […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,2],"tags":[422,202,423,1027,24,726,1685],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22504"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22505,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22504\/revisions\/22505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
