User blog:Hurricane Layten/Invest 91E set to become a tropical cyclone later today...

OK, so I have jsut seen the products for Invest 91E, and the NHC has the disturbance tagged at 90/90 as of 0500 PDT. This system, regardless of its very likely development, will be a major threat to land, even if it doesnt make a landfall, due to the excessive rainfall it is producing.

What is set to potentially become Tropical Depression Two-E is currently moving slowly to the north, and the latest ASCAT pass at 0331 UTC showed an almost closed low level circulation within the system, and after seeing the satellite presentation this afternoon, I would not be surprised to see it designated a tropical cyclone at 1500 UTC.

Anyway, I'll have more on my database wiki, where I am planning to issue advisories when I can on the system whilst it is active.
