Tropical Storm Fabio developed west of Mexico on Sunday.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Storm Fabio was located at latitude 12.0\u00b0N and longitude 107.4\u00b0W which put it about 770 miles (1240 km) south-southeast of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Fabio was moving toward the west-northwest at 13 m.p.h. (20 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 65 m.p.h. (105 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb.<\/p>\n
The circulation of Tropical Storm Fabio was still organizing.\u00a0 There was a broad low level center of circulation, but it did not have a well developed inner core.\u00a0 Multiple bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the broad low level center.\u00a0 The storms in the rainbands were generating some upper level divergence which was starting to pump mass away from the tropical storm.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Fabio will move through an environment that is very favorable for intensification.\u00a0 Fabio will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 28.5\u00b0C.\u00a0 An upper level ridge northeast of Tropical Storm Fabio will produce easterly winds which will blow toward the top of the circulation.\u00a0 However, the wind speed will be similar at all levels and there will not be much vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Fabio will continue to intensify in the favorable environment.\u00a0 Once a primary rainband wraps around the center of circulation, an inner core will develop.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Fabio could intensify rapidly when an eye starts to form.\u00a0 Fabio could strengthen into a major hurricane in two or three days.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Fabio was moving south of a subtropical ridge which was steering the tropical storm toward the west-northwest.\u00a0 A general west-northwesterly motion is expected to continue during the next few days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track the center of Tropical Storm Fabio will pass well to the south of Baja California.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean Tropical Depression Emilia continued to weaken over cooler water.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Emilia was located at latitude 19.3\u00b0N and longitude 123.0\u00b0W which put it about 880 miles (1415 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Emilia was moving toward the west-northwest 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 1006 mb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
