For the first time since August 1974, there were four named storms in the Eastern North Pacific Hurricane Basin today: Carlotta, Daniel, Emilia, and Fabio. Fortunately none are of any threat to land, including Hawaii which is in the adjacent Central Pacific Hurricane Basin.

Tropical Storms Carlotta and Daniel faded away to Tropical Depressions earlier today and now are simply remnant lows. However, Emilia and Fabio are looking more impressive on satellite photography although neither are expected to grow beyond tropical storm status.

 

 

As of the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center, Emilia was about 690 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. It had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. Emilia was moving west-southwest at only 2 mph. Meanwhile Fabio is roughly 405 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. It too has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. Fabio is moving west-northwest at 18 mph.  Fabio is forecast to be absorbed by Emilia Wednesday or Wednesday night.
