An NBC Palm Springs Tropical Update!

Atlantic...

With maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, Tropical Storm Barry has formed in the Bay of Campeche and is moving to the NW at a forward speed of 19 mph. This system is expected to make landfall as a Tropical Storm near the area of Narajos, Mexico on the East Central coast of the Gulf of Mexico late tonight or early Monday morning.

Pacific...

The NE Pacific now has its sixth named tropical system of the year. Tropical Storm Flossie currently has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and is moving to the WNW at a forward speed of 9 mph. Because of very warm sea surface temperatures at 85°, moderate upper-level wind shear and a moist mid-level atmosphere, Flossie will strengthen.

Flossie is forecast to become a Cat-1 Hurricane by late-Monday/early-Tuesday. But -- as this system approaches the Socorro Islands -- water temps slip below 80° which will rob Flossie of its energy and should become a Remnant Low by Thursday over the open waters of the NE Pacific.
