of the southeastern Mexican coastline about 100 miles SSW of Salina
Cruz. TD Two-E's winds are currently at 30 mph and it's movement is
stationary, but a slow west-northwestward motion is expected to begin
later today. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting that the
depression will become a Tropical Storm by late Thursday-early Friday
at which point Two-E will be named 'Blas'.
The Mexican government has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the
southern coast of Mexico from Salina Cruz westward to Lagunas De
Chacahua.
Tropical Depression Two-E is the second tropical cyclone of the
Eastern Pacific Season. Tropical Storm Agatha formed in May. Though, a
relatively weak tropical storm with maximum winds of 45 mph, Agatha
was the deadliest tropical cyclone to form in the eastern Pacific
since Hurricane Pauline in 1997, due to the widespread flooding it
produced across parts of Central America.
