Adrian becomes earliest tropical storm on record in eastern Pacific

The official start of the eastern Pacific hurricane season is May 15, but tropical development is starting a little earlier this year.
A large area of showers and thunderstorms off the coast of Central America has developed into the first tropical storm of the year in the eastern Pacific.
The storm rapidly strengthened on Tuesday, becoming the earliest tropical depression and tropical storm on record in the eastern Pacific Ocean since reliable data began in 1966. The previous record for the earliest tropical depression was on May 12, 1990. This depression strengthened to Tropical Storm Alma on May 14. 

“With water temperatures off western Central America above normal and relatively low wind shear, conditions will be conducive for strengthening,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Steve Travis said.
Adrian will likely strengthen into a hurricane prior to threatening land.
While the storm is currently located well off the coast of Mexico and Central America and moving west-northwest, a northward turn is expected later this week.
“The most likely area to endure significant impacts from this system extends from southern Mexico to Guatemala,” said AccuWeather senior Meteorologist Rob Miller.

Dangers to life and property may include flooding rain, mudslides, damaging winds and an inundating storm surge.
While the greatest threat is expected from eastern Oaxaca into southern Guatemala, tropical downpours may extend into northern Guatemala, El Salvador, western Honduras and Belize early next week.
The development of this tropical system is kicking off what AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski states will be, “at least a normal to slightly above-normal season” in the eastern Pacific.
“This prediction does not include storms that will develop in the central Pacific Ocean, including in the Hawaii area," he explained.
An average season in the eastern Pacific Ocean yields 15 named tropical storms and eight hurricanes, four of which become major hurricanes.
“There are also one to two tropical impacts on the United States from the eastern Pacific during an average year,” Kottlowski said. “This would mainly be in the form of flooding rain affecting the region from Southern California to Texas."

A record-setting tropical storm formed in the East Pacific today, nearly a week before the official start to hurricane season for that region.

Tropical Storm Adrian is expected to strengthen into a hurricane and threaten Mexico by early next week, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center. Hurricane season for the Eastern Pacific officially begins on May 15, while the Central Pacific season begins June 1.

This is the earliest known tropical depression to form in the East Pacific during the “satellite era,” according to the center’s scientists. The previous earliest tropical storm in the region was recorded on May 12, 1990.

At 5 p.m. today, Adrian was about 360 miles southwest of San Salvador, El Salvador, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and moving west-northwest at 7 mph, forecasters said.

It is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm by Wednesday when it will be given the name Adrian. Forecasters said the storm should become a Category 1 hurricane, with winds of at least 74 mph, by Saturday.
