Dynamic Duo of Cyclones 'Irwin' and 'Jova' Headed for Mexico

Several weak lows embedded in the ITCZ stretching hundreds of miles WSW from the Western Mexican coastline have rapidly acquired enough intense convection and of sufficient organization for rapid cyclogenesis to have occurred.
Both cyclones appear to have begun a track towards recurvature, making eventual landfall over Western Mexico not far from each other, closely followed, one upon the other. Stormchasers: Book your tickets now. 2 Hurricanes for the Price of One!

Thus, we have Hurricane 'Irwin' (left) and Tropical Storm 'Jova' (right), which is also forecast to become at least a Cat. 1 Hurricane upon landfall over Western Mexico, with a 1 in 3 chance for explosive development into a MAJOR Hurricane before landfall.
