Hurricane update - 29 May

The East Pacific has spawned its first named storm of the 2007 season: Alvin is a half-hearted tropical storm that is slowly moving away into the Pacific, not being a threat to land. Another system is getting its act together in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, southeast of Mexico. Am watching the NHC website closely for developments in that quarter, as it is much closer to land.
This is the latest satellite image. Alvin is located due south of Baja California; the second system is on the far right of the picture.

The Atlantic season is starting on Friday, and am posting this bulletin as a reminder for those folk in Hurricane Alley to keep an eye open. I summarise NHC and JTWC bulletins in my Tropical Cyclones blog, and highlight any systems that may strike land on Northern Trip.

If a hurricane is on a collision course with your area, always consult the latest bulletin from the National Hurricane Center on-line.
