Hurricane Watch: Tropical Storm Alvin remains over the open waters of the East Pacific
Tropical Storm Alvin continues to track northwestward over the open waters of the East Pacific farther away from Mexico. By the end of this weekend, Alvin should weaken into a remnant non-tropical low pressure area as it continues to move through a zone of cooler ocean waters.
Meanwhile, we are monitoring a couple other areas for potential development in the East Pacific basin. An area of rain and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave approaching 100 degrees west longitude near 10 degrees north latitude is expected to become better organized during the upcoming weekend and there is a high chance this will become a depression later this weekend and could become Tropical Storm Barbara early next week.
Also, an area of disturbed weather is expected to form west and south of Central America later next week. Some reliable computer models are showing potential development of this activity during the latter part of next week.
In addition, there is a chance for some potential development in the Central Pacific basin later next week. We are watching a tropical wave along 135 west that will move westward and could become an area of low pressure and perhaps a tropical depression later next week in the Central Pacific basin well south of Hawaii.
