Tropical Storm Lane formed southwest of Baja California on Wednesday morning.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Tropical Storm Lane was located at latitude 10.7\u00b0N and longitude 123.6\u00b0E which put it about 1235 miles (1990 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Lane was loving toward the west at 14 m.p.h. (22 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 1006 mb.<\/p>\n
A distinct low level center of circulation formed on Wednesday morning within a tropical wave southwest of Baja California.\u00a0 The National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Storm Lane when more thunderstorms formed near the center of circulation.\u00a0 The circulation of Tropical Storm Lane was organizing quickly.\u00a0 Thunderstorms were developing around the center of circulation.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms began to form and to revolve around the core of Tropical Storm Lane.\u00a0 Storms in the core started to generate upper level divergence which was pumping mass away from the tropical storm in all directions.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Lane will move through an environment very favorable for intensification.\u00a0 Lane will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 28\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move through an area where the upper level winds are weak and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Lane will intensify and it could become a hurricane within 36 hours.\u00a0 When an eye forms and the core of the circulation is well established, Lane could intensify rapidly and it could strengthen into a major hurricane by the weekend.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Lane will move south of the subtropical ridge over the Eastern North Pacific.\u00a0 The ridge will steer Lane westward.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Lane will move farther away from Baja California and in the general direction of Hawaii.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
