Once again, this system won't threaten the Mexican Pacific coast, moving toward the west-northwest, but is expected to eventually earn the name "Howard" as a tropical storm.
Here's the latest from the National Hurricane Center:
  • Tropical Depression Nine-E was located about 900 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, as of Sunday afternoon.
  • The depression is forecast to strengthen into Tropical Storm Howard Sunday night or early Monday.
  • This system is no threat to any land areas.
