A well developed cyclonic circulation formed at the surface in a large area of thunderstorms southwest of Mexico and the National Hurricane Center classified the system as Tropical Depression One-E.\u00a0 At 5:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Tropical Depression One-E (TD1E) was located at latitude 11.0\u00b0N and longitude 110.4\u00b0W which put it about 685 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.\u00a0 TD1E was moving toward the west-northwest at 15 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. and there were gusts to 45 m.p.h.\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1005 mb.<\/p>\n
The circulation around TD1E is still in the organizational stage and there are more strong thunderstorms in the southern half of the circulation.\u00a0 TD1E is in an environment that is very favorable for intensification.\u00a0 It is moving over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are around 29\u00b0C to 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 It is an area between upper level easterly winds near the Equator and stronger upper level westerly winds farther north.\u00a0 There are lighter upper level winds over TD1E and the light winds allowed it to develop strong upper level outflow in all directions.\u00a0 Warm SSTs and strong upper level divergence should allow TD1E to intensify during the next several days and a period of rapid intensification is quite possible once the circulation is fully organized.<\/p>\n
An upper level ridge to the northeast of TD1E is steering it toward the west-northwest.\u00a0 As TD1E gets closer to a weakness in the western portion of the ridge, it is expected to turn toward the northwest and slow down.\u00a0 On its anticipated path TD1E poses no immediate threat to the west coast of Mexico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
