Monday Morning Update
A new tropical depression has formed?
It looks like tropical depression 12-e has formed and is on the verge on becoming tropical storm Ignacio. We believe that NHC will classify this tropical depression at 8 am pdt.
As of 8:00 am edt / 5:00 am pdt the tropical disturbance is centered near 16.8° N / 117.3° or about 850 miles west southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. Top sustained winds are estimated at 35 mph. It is moving west at about 17 mph.
This system is NOT a threat to Mexico.

Re: 12-e
Monday Evening Update
It appears that Ignacio has formed
After fighting some northerly wind shear, it looks like the low level circulation is now under the deep convection. Banding in now taking shape on the southern side of the system. With this being the case, we think that there is enough organization to classify this system as a minimal tropical storm.
As of 8:00 pm edt / 5:00 pm pdt tropical depression 12-e was centered near 16.8° N / 117.3° or about 595 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We estimate top sustained winds of 40 mph. It is moving northwest at about 12 mph.
This system is NOT a threat to Mexico.

Re: Ignacio
Monday Morning Update
Slight strengthening overnight
Tropical storm Ignaico had a very deep burst of convection a few hours ago. At that time winds may have gusted to 50-55 mph. The convection has decreased some at this time. Ignacio is on a track toward colder water which will limit its potential for strengthening.
As of 7:00 am edt / 4:00 am pdt tropical storm Ignacio was centered near 18.2° N / 119.2° or about 675 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We estimate top sustained winds of 45 mph (NHC estimates 40 mph). Ignacio is moving northwest at about 12 mph.
This system is NOT a threat to Mexico.
