Information on Hurricane Fernanda /Tropical Storm Fernanda
08AM 16/08/05 The remains of Hurricane Fernanda
have moved well west into the Pacific. The tropical depression that was once
Fernanda is moving into colder waters and reformation is not expected. No
further updates will be issued on this storm until historical data is
available.
Fernanda was once a category 1 Hurricane. The
storm never made landfall and had little or no effect on Baja California
weather.
At 9PM on August 9, the National Hurricane center
in Miami upgraded TD-6E to the 6th named storm of the 2005 Eastern
Pacific Hurricane Season. At that time Fernanda was located near
14.7N 115.8W and moving 295° at 9kts. Central barometric pressure was 1002Mb and sustained winds
were estimated at 40kts with gusts to 50kts. Fernanda achieved
hurricane status in the 3AM MDT release on Aug 11 from the National
Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida. At that time the storm was located near
16.5N 120.5W, wind speeds were 60-80kts and it was moving
295° at 9kts..
Fernanda formed west of what
would usually threaten Baja California and it is expected that the storm
will continue to move westward into the Pacific. With Fernanda's current
position and movement being WSW of the Baja peninsula, the storm should have
little effect on Baja's weather. Landfall for this storm is
not forecast.
