"Heads Up"
We are off and running.
This is 'exactly' the location of every Pacific storm that accompanied any Atlantic storm, including Katrina, that arrived on terra firma last year. I am not surprised the first manifestations of storms this year starts there.
MEXICO CITY – Tropical Storm Aletta, the first tropical storm of the eastern Pacific season, was stalled Monday about 165 kilometers (102 miles) southwest of Acapulco.
Forecasters issued a tropical storm warning from Punta Maldonado northwestward to the beach resort of Zihuatanejo, warning that the storm could bring heavy rainfall, flash flooding and mudslides to the mountainous coastline.
However, the storm was expected to begin inching farther out to sea.
Maximum sustained winds were at 75 kph (45 mph) and some strengthening was expected, according to a report by the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
