Whilst everybody is getting in a tizz over 4 tropical disturbances in the Atlantic, attention should really be on the Eastern Pacific. The Mexican coast around Acapulco is under a tropical storm warning (TS conditions likely within 24 hours) with attendant heavy rains of 4 to 8 inches, locally 15 inches. This is all brought about by tropical depression 11E.
Life-threatening flashflooding and mudslides are possible in the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michocan and Colima.
Typhoon Fitow is making for Japan, which it will reach within 7 days with winds of 120 knots / 135 mph. No predictions on the area of landfall at this stage - keep an eye open.
