The National Hurricane Center in Miami confirmed early Tuesday that Tropical Storm Julio had formed in the Pacific Ocean and would likely be absorbed by the more powerful Tropical Storm Iselle later that day. Julio was positioned approximately 675 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula with maximum sustained winds near 50 mph.
Iselle, the stronger of the two systems, was located about 730 miles west of the Baja California peninsula and maintained winds of 70 mph as it moved northward across the Pacific. Forecasters indicated that the weaker Julio would be consumed by Iselle’s circulation before the day ended.
Neither storm posed an immediate threat to coastal communities, with no watches or warnings issued for populated areas. Separately, Tropical Storm Lala continued to churn in the Central Pacific with 50 mph winds and no threat to land, while Tropical Storm Moke was downgraded after passing Hawaii earlier in the week.
