Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – An area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south of Mexico’s southern coast has seen a significant increase in shower and thunderstorm activity this morning. However, recent satellite wind data from overnight indicates that the system has not yet developed a well-defined center.
Meteorologists from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) report that environmental conditions are conducive to further development. This has led to predictions that a tropical depression is likely to form within the next couple of days. The system is anticipated to move westward to west-northwestward at a speed of 10 to 15 mph over the coming days, remaining offshore of Mexico’s southern coast.
Formation Chances:
- Through 48 hours: High, at 90 percent.
- Through 7 days: High, at 90 percent.
The NHC urges coastal residents to stay informed as the system develops. The potential tropical depression’s movement and intensity will be closely monitored. While the forecast currently suggests the system will remain offshore, it is crucial for residents along the southern coast of Mexico to stay updated with the latest advisories.
Preparation and Safety Measures: Authorities recommend that residents in potentially affected areas begin to prepare for the possibility of heavy rain and strong winds. Local government agencies are likely to issue further advisories and safety measures as the situation evolves.
Local Impact: While the system remains offshore, Puerto Vallarta and other coastal regions should monitor the situation. Increased rainfall and gusty winds could affect marine activities and coastal operations. Fishermen and those involved in maritime industries should take necessary precautions.
Advice for Residents and Visitors:
- Stay Informed: Keep up with updates from reliable sources such as the National Hurricane Center and local weather services.
- Prepare Supplies: Ensure you have an emergency kit ready, including food, water, medications, and other essentials.
- Follow Local Guidance: Adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders issued by local authorities.
