Bud becomes a major hurricane, while another tropical system could be brewing in the Atlantic near Florida

Posted on May 25, 2012 by Bob Berwyn

Hurricane warning issued from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes, Mexico

A new tropical system is brewing just off the Florida coast.

SUMMIT COUNTY — Even though the official start of the hurricane season still a few days away, there may soon be simultaneous tropical storms in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Bud is already well-formed off the coast of Southwest Mexico and could make landfall Saturday with hurricane-force winds along the coast between Cabo Corrientes and Punta San Telmo. As of late Thursday night, Bud was generating winds of 115 mph.

Meanwhile, an area of disturbed weather over the Florida Keys and the Bahamas is showing signs of organization, and has a 60 percent chance of developing into Tropical Storm Beryl within the next couple of days.

The system was generating sustained winds of 30 mph late Thursday night, with tropical storm-force gusts. For now, the system is moving to the northeast, conditions favorable for tropical storm development area expected the next few days.

Bud could be packing winds of 100 mph when it makes landfall in Mexico this weekend, with the potential for dangerous rainfall and mudslides in coastal areas. Hurricane warnings and watches are in effect along the southwest coast of Mexico.

SUMMIT COUNTY — Hurricane Hilary, moving above the warm waters of the tropical Pacific Ocean off Mexico, has quickly intensified to a category 3 storm during the past 24 hours, with sustained winds of 135 mph making one of the stronger hurricanes of the 2011 season so far.

The latest satellite images show a small, distinct eye surrounded by very cold cloud tops and could intensify a bit more during the next 24 to 36 hours before moving over cooler water and starting to weaken toward the end of the forecast period. The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center is for periodic weakening and strengthening in a cycle driven by eyeball replacement. (more…)
