Re: TS Katia Lounge

THIRTEEN became Tropical Storm Katia last night and was upgraded operationally by NHC this morning.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).
Katia is forecast by nearly all models, save climos, to drift SE/S/SW into Mexico, where it may strike as a very moisture-laden hurricane later this week. Flooding rains are a probability, regardless whether TS orr HUR.
