The Eastern North Pacific basin continues to be active tropically.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Six-E formed west of Mexico on Tuesday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Tropical Depression Six-E was located at latitude 12.2\u00b0N and longitude 109.9\u00b0W which put it about 740 miles (1190 km) south of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 It was moving toward the west at 12 m.p.h. (19 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 1007 mb.<\/p>\n
A center of circulation consolidated within a large area of thunderstorms south of Baja California on Tuesday.\u00a0 A primary band of showers and thunderstorms wrapped around the western and southern sides of the center of circulation.\u00a0 Additional bands of showers and thunderstorms were beginning to form north and west of the center.\u00a0 There were not many showers and storms in the eastern half of the circulation.\u00a0 The thunderstorms near the core of the circulation were beginning generate upper level divergence which was pumping away from depression.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Six-E will move through an environment that will be favorable for intensification.\u00a0 It will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is near 29\u00b0C.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Six-E is near the western end of an upper level ridge and the upper level winds are relatively weak.\u00a0 Warm SSTs and little vertical wind shear should allow the depression to strengthen during the next several days.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Six-E is likely to become a tropical storm on Wednesday and it could become a hurricane later this week.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Six-E is moving south of a subtropical ridge which is steering the depression toward the west.\u00a0 The subtropical ridge is expected to continue to steer the depression toward the west during the next few days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track the depression is expected to move away from the coast of Mexico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
