Two tropical cyclones are occurring today in the East Pacific, but forecasters expect both to dissipate away from Hawaii next week.
Hurricane Carlotta, which formed on Friday, likely peaked today with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. It was centered about 705 miles south of the southern tip of Baja California, moving west-northwest at 14 mph this morning.
Carlotta is a compact hurricane with hurricane-force winds extending up to 10 miles from its center and tropical storm-force winds extending up to 90 miles, the Miami-based center said.
“Little change is expected today, but weakening is expected to begin this evening,” forecasters said today.
By the end of the current five-day forecast on Thursday, the storm is expected to have dissipated to a “post-tropical remnant low” with winds of 25 mph as it encounters cooler ocean waters and shear. wind before reaching the Central Pacific.
Forecasters say Tropical Storm Daniel, which formed today, is “expected to be a short-lived storm” in the Eastern Pacific as it dissipates over the next few days away from any land masses.
Daniel had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph this morning and was centered about 1,500 miles west = southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.
“Slight strengthening is possible over the next two days, with some gradual weakening expected thereafter,” hurricane center forecasters said.
The center is also watching other storm systems in the East Pacific that could become a tropical cyclone next week.
The system, a few hundred kilometers south of Mexico, has a 90% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within a week as it moves west-northwest at 16 to 24 km/h and towards far from Mexico, meteorologists said.
