Tropical Storm Fernand formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico from a tropical depression late on August 25th. This storm is already making landfall in east central Mexico as a weak tropical storm and will be downgraded later this morning. Since this storm poses no threat to US coastal areas, this will be our only mention of Tropical Storm Fernand.

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.

Tropical Storm Erin formed off the west African coast from a tropical wave and depression. The environment that this storm will be passing through will not allow much development through Tuesday, August 20th. There are features that will be in place by the middle of next week that could change this scenario. However, unless this storm shows significant intensification potential or a track change, this will be our only mention of Tropical Storm Erin.

We are watching an upper level low pressure area [ Invest 92-L ] that will be in the far southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Friday afternoon, August 16. Current computer modeling is imprecise because there is no well-defined center of low pressure rotation, but as this upper level low gets over the warm Gulf waters, we will be watching carefully and post in a separate thread accordingly if necessary.
