The casting director has officially reopened auditions.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now monitoring three areas of interest in the eastern Pacific.
🎭 Area #2 is the one we’ll be paying the closest attention to over the coming days.
While it currently has a 0% chance of development during the next 48 hours, it has increased to a 60% chance of development over the next 7 days. The NHC expects an area of low pressure to form late this weekend or early next week several hundred miles south-southwest of the coast of southwestern Mexico. Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development as the system moves generally west-northwestward.
So for now…
🎬 “Thank you for coming. We’ll be in touch.”
About the forecast graphic…
Some of you may notice I included a screenshot from AccuWeather today.
I don’t generally use AccuWeather as a tropical forecasting source. I’m simply using their monthly calendar view to illustrate that some longer-range forecasts are hinting at an increase in showers and thunderstorms next week.
Please don’t focus on the exact temperatures, rainfall amounts, or specific days shown. At this range, those details can and often do change.
The takeaway isn’t that it will rain on a certain day.
The takeaway is simply that we’ll be watching for a potentially more unsettled weather pattern next week if Area #2 develops nearby.
What about Areas #1 and #3?
Areas #1 and #3 are also being monitored.
If either develops into a named tropical cyclone, it would likely move into the Central Pacific Hurricane Center’s area of responsibility.
If that happens, they’ll certainly receive honorable mentions in our Hurricane Novela…
…but for now, Area #2 has the leading role. 🎭
Behind the scenes…
The latest National Hurricane Center Tropical Weather Discussion notes that even if Area #2 never becomes a named storm, the developing area of low pressure could still increase winds and produce rough to very rough seas offshore of southwestern Mexico early next week.
That means it’s worth monitoring whether it earns a name or not.
A quick note for my newer followers…
Many of you have discovered Live Cabo during hurricane season.
The Hurricane Season Novela is simply my way of making tropical weather a little easier—and hopefully a little more enjoyable—to follow.
However, if a system begins posing a realistic threat to Los Cabos or any other area, the tone changes.
The humor takes a back seat, and the focus becomes providing timely, straightforward information to help residents and visitors stay informed.
For now…
🍿 The auditions continue.
Stay tuned.
