07/18/11 Brewing Tropics


We have 2 tropical storms brewing; one in the Atlantic Ocean, the other in the Pacific Ocean. The good news is neither are expected to make landfall.
Bret is the second storm for the Atlantic 2011 season, following Tropical Storm Arlene, which made just a little impact on Campeche and Tampico, Mexico. Bret is not expected to make landfall, but may produce some heavy rainfall for Bermuda if it veers to the east over the next few days. It is also expected to stay a tropical storm, and not make it up to hurricane strength (74mph+).

Dora is the 4th storm in the eastern Pacific for the 2011 season, following Adrian, Beatriz, and Calvin. Adrian made it to a category 4 strength, but stayed in the Pacific Ocean, never making landfall. Beatriz made it to a category 1 strength, and just clipped the western edge of Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo, Mexico. Calvin made it to a category 1 strength, but stayed in the Pacific Ocean. Dora is expected to get up to a major hurricane strength (category 4 or 5) by Thursday of this week, but is NOT expected to make landfall.
