Tropical Storms

In the Atlantic Ocean

The remnants of Humberto are located about 895 mi (1435 km) WSW of the Azores. The final advisory has been issued on this system.

Invest 95L in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico's Bay of Campeche will bring more rain to Mexico and tropical moisture from 95L will likely stream northeastwards along the cold front over much of the U.S. Gulf Coast on Saturday and Sunday, bringing heavy rains of 2 - 4". Will likely become a tropical depression during the next day or two and be named Jerry.

In the Eastern Pacific:

The remnants of Manuel are located about 145 mi (235 km) E of Los Mochis, Mexico and could produce additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches over parts of the Mexican states of Sinaloa, Durango and Chihuahua. The final advisory has been issued on this system.

138 people dead or missing following Manuel's second landfall this week in storm-weary Mexico. Manuel hit the coast on Monday as a tropical storm with 70 mph winds northwest of Acapulco. Acapulco received 7.41" of rain from Manuel September 12 - 16, and up to a foot of rain fell in the surrounding mountains.

Manuel promised to bring 5 - 10" of rain to the Mexican state of Sinaloa, which is likely to cause additional flash floods and mudslides over the next few days. Manuel is moving very slowly inland, and should weaken significantly as long as the storm's eye stays ashore.

In the Western Pacific:

Super Typhoon Usagi is located approximately 360 km northeast of Manila, Philippines. Its track is towards southern Taiwan.
