...ESTELLE WEAKENING... |
Tropical Depression 7E has now become Tropical Storm Estelle off the West coast of Mexico. Other than an initial band of heavy rain, the storm poses no immediate threat to land.
We will continue to monitor this storm, in case it changes direction or intensity, but at the current forecast rate, it should become a remnant low by later in the week.
