Former Tropical Depression Two-E strengthened to Tropical Storm Boris over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean southeast of Acapulco, Mexico early on Monday.\u00a0 At 8:00 a.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Boris was located at latitude 15.9\u00b0N and longitude 99.2\u00b0W which put the center about 85 miles (135 km) southeast of Acapulco, Mexico.\u00a0\u00a0 Boris was moving toward the northeast at 2 m.p.h. (3 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 1002 mb.<\/p>\n
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the portion of the coast from Laguna de Chacahua to Tecpan de Galeana.\u00a0 The Tropical Storm Warning includes Acapulco.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Former Tropical Depression Two-E strengthened early on Monday and the U.S. National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Storm Boris.<\/p>\n More thunderstorms formed near the center of Tropical Storm Boris on Sunday night.\u00a0 More thunderstorms were also developing in bands revolving around the center of Boris’ circulation.\u00a0 Storms near the center of Boris generated upper level divergence that was pumping mass away to the west of the tropical storm.\u00a0 The removal of mass caused the surface pressure to decrease slowly,<\/p>\n Although the circulation around Tropical Storm Boris was large, the strongest winds were occurring close to the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 35 miles (55 km) from the center of Boris’ circulation.<\/p>\n Tropical Storm Boris will move through an environment somewhat favorable for intensification during the next few hours.\u00a0 Boris will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 31\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the southeastern part of an upper level ridge that is over Mexico.\u00a0 The upper level ridge will produce easterly winds that will blow toward the top of Boris’ circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause moderate vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The moderate vertical wind shear will inhibit intensification, but the wind shear may not be enough to prevent intensification.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Boris could intensify during the next few hours.<\/p>\n Tropical Storm Boris around the southwestern side of a high pressure system that is over southeastern Mexico.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Boris toward the north during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Boris will make landfall on the coast of Mexico near Acapulco later on Monday.<\/p>\n Tropical Storm Boris will being strong winds and very heavy rain to parts of Guerrero and Oaxaca.\u00a0 Heavy rain is likely to cause flash floods in some locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former Tropical Depression Two-E strengthened to Tropical Storm Boris over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean southeast of Acapulco, Mexico early on Monday.\u00a0 At 8:00 a.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Boris was located at latitude 15.9\u00b0N and longitude 99.2\u00b0W which put the center about 85 miles (135 km) southeast of Acapulco, Mexico.\u00a0\u00a0 […]<\/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":[399,202,2065,400,1720,3025,24,1747,2725,2064],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24481"}],"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=24481"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24481\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24482,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24481\/revisions\/24482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayhobgood.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
