HURRICANE WATCH: Tropical Storm Erick is located well away from the southern Baja California coast and making progress toward the Hawaiian Islands early Sunday morning. It has remained at 40 mph with slightly higher gusts and is moving west at 16 mph.

Erick is in an environment conducive for strengthening with low wind shear, warm waters and a moist atmosphere. As such, it is possible that Erick could become a hurricane in the next few days. There is no threat to land through the early part of next week as it moves into the Central Pacific Ocean basin. Interests in Hawaii should continue to monitor the progress of this system, however, as it may become a threat later next week or the following weekend. There is a good chance that the system will weaken considerably as it moves into less favorable atmospheric conditions.

The second area of disturbed weather several hundred miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico has become better organized this morning and is now Tropical Depression Seven-E. Environmental conditions will support gradual strengthening over the next several days as the storm moves in a general westward motion over the open waters of the East Pacific. It is expected that the depression will become Tropical Storm Flossie sometime later today or Monday and likely a hurricane later in the week.
