Just back.

An hour and a half ago the TWD said, "ONLY A SLIGHT INCREASE IN WINDS COULD BRING THE DEPRESSION TO TROPICAL STORM STATUS," but just an hour before that advisory #2 didn't indicate likelyhood of winds of TS strength. There is a quikscat from right around that timeframe as well, but I'm having the same problem as with Aletta in trying to read it, and resolve the different intensities between the ascending and descending scans. Lack of expertise. If anyone could explain more about how that works I'd appreciate it. Anyway...I'm going to assume that was key in determining an upgrade to TS status, which I suppose will occur shortly with the intermediate advisory.

So Acapulco has gotten quite a bit of rain from this system.

Still a TD on the 2A advis.
