Special Advisory: EAST Pacific Named Storm IVO

East Pacific Tropical Storm Ivo is being monitored even though TSRC does not normally track Pacific storms.  Due to a shift in the upper level steering currents, Tropical Storm IVO has a relatively high chance of coming ashore in southern California near San Diego sometime Wednesday, August 28 or Thursday, August 29.  The storm may then affect several Southwestern States with heavy rains, flash flooding, frequent lightning, mud slides and very gusty winds.  Persons in southern California, Nevada, and Arizona should monitor the track of this storm and listen to your local Emergency Government and National Weather Service advisories early this coming week.
