A newly-formed tropical cyclone in the eastern Pacific will threaten southwest Mexico with wind and rain this upcoming week.
A low pressure system located about 300 miles south of Acapulco, Mexico strengthened into Tropical Depression 17-E Saturday afternoon PDT. In addition to 17-E, another area is being monitored just south of Guatemala, though development is not imminent with that system.
The newly-formed depression is spinning over water more than sufficient for strengthening but will battle disruptive wind shear as it tracks slowly north toward the southwest Mexican coast.
Despite the wind shear, some strengthening is forecast . . .
