Tropical Depression FIVE-E Forms in East Pacific; No Threat to Land

Tropical Depression FIVE-E has formed in the East Pacific, and currently poses no threat to land. FIVE-E is forecast by the official National Hurricane Center forecast to move east-northeast farther into the Pacific Ocean before continuing to strengthen.

FIVE-E could very well strengthen into a fair hurricane, though it will luckily pose no threat to land. The few statistical models available depict a Category 1 hurricane coming out of this, which could become a borderline Category 2 tropical system.
