Tropical Depression Ten-E Forms in the East Pacific

The Eastern Pacific is starting to heat up once again after a slight lull in tropical cyclone activity. Tropical Depression Ten-E formed early Thursday morning about 1400 miles to the west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja, California. The depression is expected to become a tropical storm by late Thursday or early Friday. If it indeed strengthens to a tropical storm, it would be given the name Fausto. The good news is, TD Ten-E is expected to slowly drift west over the open ocean through the next five days, and is not currently a threat to land. There are several other tropical waves across the Pacific however, which could also develop into tropical cyclones over the next several days.
