The east Pacific tropical storm has dropped it's central pressure to 987 millibars and increased it's velocity to 65 knots per hour.
Hurricane Dalila is pushing heat from the troposphere into an already hot Pacific Ocean. It is cooling the land/terra firma as I write this.

The hurricane is at the left margin of the image south of the Baja Peninsula.
The vapor trail is still intact, however, the unrealistic hope there would be three storms has proven unfruitful. The tropospheric heat was absorbed by the hurricane. Better that than nothing. There is a near shore accumulation of water vapor over Belize. But, nothing else.

Hurricane Dalila is south of the Baja Peninsula, however, there is another interesting circulation center in the east Pacific northeast of Hawaii. It is more upper troposphere with sparse water vapor at this point, but, it bears watching.
The reason it is a concern to me is the FACT it is beginning to pick up equatorial water vapor. When these systems increase their water vapor content they accelerate their velocities.
