Pacific Storm Watch: Hurricane Center Tracks Two Potential Threats to Mexico

Mexico's Pacific Coast on Alert: National Hurricane Center Tracks Two Potential Tropical Storms The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is closely monitoring two areas of disturbed weather in the Eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico. One area, closer to land, has a high likelihood of developing into a tropical depression, potentially strengthening into Tropical Storm Barbara within the next 7 days. The NHC estimates an 80% chance of development within this timeframe. "Tropical activity has been increasing for the Eastern Pacific Basin," stated a FOX Weather reporter in a recent broadcast. The reporter also highlighted the significant wave action along the Mexican coastline, describing the waves as "angry" as they crash onshore, indicating the potential for rough conditions. A second area of concern is further offshore and has a lower, 30% chance of development over the next 7 days. However, the NHC continues to monitor both areas due to favorable conditions, including warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear. The potential development of these storms underscores the importance of preparedness along the Mexican Pacific coast. Residents and visitors should monitor weather forecasts closely and take necessary precautions.
