News_Editor Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Tropical Depression One-E forms south of Acapulco, Mexico; forecast to become hurricane 2011-06-07 21:49:30 GMT+7 (ICT) MIAMI (BNO NEWS) -- Tropical depression One-E formed in the East Pacific Ocean on early Monday morning, making it the first tropical depression of the 2011 Eastern North Pacific Hurricane season, forecasters said. Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) had been following the low pressure area since last week, but development was slow to occur despite a favorable environment for development. As of 8 a.m. PDT (1500 GMT), the center of tropical depression One-E was located about 365 miles (590 kilometers) south of Acapulco, a major sea port on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. It is moving towards the northwest at a speed of about 3 miles (6 kilometers) per hour. As of Monday morning, maximum sustained winds are near 30 miles per hour (45 kilometers per hour), with higher gusts. Forecasters expect One-E to become Tropical Storm Adrian by Wednesday, and become a hurricane by Friday. Until at least Friday, the system is not expected to affect land. -- © BNO News All rights reserved 2011-06-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
