Tropical Depression Three-E Off Mexican Pacific Coast Forecast to Become Carlos

June 11,2015

Highlights

• Tropical Depression Three-E formed Wednesday about 260 miles south-southwest of Puerto Escondido, Mexico. 
• Tropical Depression Three-E is expected to strengthen to a tropical storm soon and possibly a hurricane by Friday or the weekend.
• Once it strengthens to a tropical storm it will receive the name Carlos.
• This system is expected to slow down through Friday, then move roughly parallel to the coast into early next week.
• While the center may remain offshore, it should at least come close enough to bring periods of heavy rainfall to much of the Mexican Riviera by this weekend. 
• Swells generated by the slowly strengthening system will generate high surf and rip currents along the Mexican Riviera coast into early next week.
