MDT 07/31/06 Tropical Storm Fabio has formed about 1068 miles SW of Cabo
San Lucas. The storm is located near 14.5N 123.3W and is moving 280° at
12kts. Central barometric pressure is estimated a 1005Mb and winds are
35 to 45kts. Forecasts call for TS Fabio to maintain Tropical Storm strength
for the next 72hrs, then move over cooler waters and begin to degrade.
Tropical Storm Fabio poses no threat to the Baja peninsula.
The system is already too far west to present any credible
possibility of landfall in Baja or mainland Mexico. The system formed
from a tropical Low and a tropical wave that interacted over the last
24 hrs. TD 7E will move over sub 26°C water in the next 72 hrs and will
begin to degrade.
