Tropics: In the Pacific, Hurricane Hilary is now a category 1 hurricane located off the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula. It will track northward through Sunday, ultimately into southern California, where tropical storm warnings are in effect for the first time in California history. Flash flooding is a major threat, as some locations in southern California could see more rain than they typically experience over an entire year!
In the Atlantic, there's a new tropical depression (#6) located a bit over 800 east of the northern Leeward Islands. It's not expected to strengthen or last very long. A disturbance is located near the Bahamas and is expected to track west into the Gulf Of Mexico. It has a 50% chance of development over the next several days. Then there's one tropical wave moving into the Caribbean (70% chance of development), another in the east-central Atlantic (70% chance of development) and yet one more moving off the coast of Africa (30% chance of development). Things are really picking up and we'll keep you posted on further developments. More details are available in the CBS Hurricane Tracker.
