18-E forms
We have been following this disturbance for a couple of days now. It looked like it had reached tropical depression status about 24 hours ago. NHC has now officially upgraded it to a depression at 35 mph and is forecast to become a tropical storm. It is so well formed at this point that we think not only is it a storm, but is probably about 50 mph.
(Polo) is centered at 8.8 N / 109.8 W or about 970 miles south of Cabo San Lucas. It is moving wnw at about 16 mph. It is no threat to Mexico. There is potential that it could strengthen to a strong tropical storm before facing wind shear.
