Tropical Update: Krovanh, Ignacio, and more

[senorpepr]

Okay... just to keep you abrest with all the tropical cyclones out there.

Hurricane Ignacio (09E) is located at 23.5N 109.0W with winds of 90G110KT. This is definately a system to watch -- should give the SW some rainfall. Maybe flash flooding. A few select observations across Mexico, near Ignacio, show the following:

La Paz Int'l: 5 mile vis with blowing dust. Winds 030° at 18 knots.
San Jose Del Cabo: Winds 240° at 20 knots.
Tepic: 6 mile vis with light rain. Winds 200° at 7 knots.

Typhoon Krovanh (12W) is also impacting land right now. It's current location is 19.9N 111.1E. This is just off Hainan Island, China. This should give much of southern China and extreme northern Vietnam some precip. Here's a few observations out of China.

Beihai: Light rainshowers. 360@14kt
Zhanjiang: Light rainshowers. 070@29kt
Yangjiang: Light rainshowers. 090@12kt
Haikou: Light rainshowers. 340@10kt
Dongfang: Light rainshowers. 270@19kt
Danxian: Light rainshowers. 320@8kt
Qionghai: Light rainshowers. 320@16kt
Yaxian: Light rainshowers. 250@10kt.

Early today, several of the aforementioned locations were reporting heavy rainshower and thunderstorms... but of course, the weather worsens and improves in a lovely cycle.

Also to keep an eye on is several Invests throughout the world. 91E in the EPAC, 93W in the WPAC, 93A in the Arabian Sea, and 92S in the Southern Hemisphere. Check out the NRL website for more details.

Also, keep an eye on the several waves across the Atlantic, note yet worthy of the "invest" title.
