While the Atlantic coast has reached the letter "P" for past hurricanes/tropical storms, the Eastern Pacific is trying to catch up. A couple of storms have developed over this past week and the one named storm in particular "Jova" has just crashed into western Mexico. What was once a category 2 hurricane, Jova has now been downgraded to a tropical storm. Sustained winds are now 50 mph as it moves north near Puerto Vallarta at 7 mph.
Right behind Jova is Irwin which is currently a tropical storm. The current sustained winds are 40 mph, but Irwin is expected to decrease to a tropical depression by this evening as it continues to move to the east.
