RawNews1st -Hurricane Kay is the main feature on tonight’s Tropical Weather Bulletin, with tropical storm force winds already reaching the coast of the southern part of the Baja California peninsula.
Hurricane force winds are expected to begin tomorrow along central parts of the coast as the Category 1 storm begins to weaken.
Kay could still penetrate further north as a tropical cyclone and affect southern California and the Channel islands, with rainfall estimates of 4 inches possible in San Diego county.
In the Atlantic, Hurricane Earl appears to be embarking on its main intensification phase, and will pass Bermuda on Thursday evening.
Tropical Storm Warnings and Hurricane Watches are in effect for the island. Earl may still reach high end Category 3 or Category 4 status as it shoots off to the northeast.
Hurricane Danielle’s days are numbered as it saunters around the subtropical Atlantic, and slowly encroaches further into the hurricane deadzone. The storm will turn post-tropical soon, and eventually affect the coast of Spain and Portugal.
In the Western Pacific, another threat is beginning to take hold in the form of Tropical Storm 14W, which is still yet to receive an international name by the Japanese Meteorological Agency.
This storm could rapidly intensify as it turns northwestwards, towards the southern Ryukyu islands.
These same islands were affected by Typhoon Hinnamnor last week. 14W is then expected to go on to affect eastern China and possibly all the way up the Yellow Sea as a tropical cyclone, with high rainfall totals expected in the Shanghai region.
