Tropical Storm Marie formed over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean southwest of Mexico on Tuesday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Tropical Storm Marie was located at latitude 16.1\u00b0N and longitude 110.3\u00b0W which put the center about 470 miles (755 km) south of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Marie was moving toward the northwest at 9 m.p.h. (15 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 65 m.p.h. (105 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 80 m.p.h. (130 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 994 mb.<\/p>\n

A low pressure system over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean southwest of Mexico strengthened on Tuesday and the U.S. National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Storm Marie.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Marie intensified steadily on Tuesday.\u00a0 Numerous thunderstorms developed near the center of Marie’s circulation.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the center of Tropical Storm Marie.\u00a0 Storms near the center of Marie generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the tropical storm.\u00a0 The removal of mass caused the surface pressure to decrease.<\/p>\n

The circulation around Tropical Storm Marie was large.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 185 miles (295 km) from the center of Marie’s circulation.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Marie will move through an environment that will be favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Marie will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 29\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move through a region where the upper level winds are weak and there will be little vertical wind wind shear.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Marie will intensify during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Marie could intensify rapidly at times.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Marie will strengthen to a hurricane on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Marie will move around the southwestern side of a high pressure system that is centered over the southwest U.S.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Marie toward the northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Marie will move southwest of Baja California.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Hurricane Lowell rapidly intensified to a major hurricane south-southeast of Hawaii and Hurricane Karina continued to be Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale.<\/p>\n

At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Hurricane Lowell was located at latitude 13.5\u00b0N and longitude 151.2\u00b0W which put the center about 500 miles (805 km) south-southeast Hilo, Hawaii.\u00a0 Lowell was moving toward the west at 10 m.p.h. (16 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 130 m.p.h. (210 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 155 m.p.h. (250 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 953 mb.<\/p>\n

At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Hurricane Karina was located at latitude 18.3\u00b0N and longitude 130.8\u00b0W which put the center about 1385 miles (2230 km) west of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Karina was moving toward the west at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 140 m.p.h. (225 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 165 m.p.h. (265 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 946 mb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
