We’re starting the second week of the hurricane season with the Atlantic Basin playing by the rules. No development is expected over the next 7 days.

Saharan dust is noticeable across parts of the Atlantic and Caribbean. This is typical early in the season as large plumes get carried from Africa.

The outlook for June 10 – 16 highlights drier air covering much of the eastern Caribbean, increased rain in parts of the Gulf and areas to watch in the Eastern Pacific.

The Eastern Pacific hurricane season starts a few weeks earlier than the Atlantic and is off to a busy start.

Tropical Storm Boris formed early Monday about 80 miles southeast of Acapulco, Mexico. It currently has maximum sustained wind speeds of 40 mph and is moving north at 3 mph.

Boris is moving very slowly with flash flooding and mudslides possible for portions of southern Mexico into Tuesday. Isolated areas could get up to a foot of rain. Rainfall totals of 4-8″ are expected across coastal portions of the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca.

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect from Laguna de Chacahua to Tecpan de Galeana. Tropical Storm Boris is expected to reach the coast of Guerrero by this evening and weaken quickly as it encounters land.

Closer to Central America, Invest 92E has a high chance for development in the next two days.

This would bring impacts of heavy rain and flash flooding to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala through mid-week.
