In the Eastern Pacific, HURRICANE TRACKERS are keeping an eye on three storms which are brewing off the Baja coast. At this time, these is a high probability of over 50% that one of these storms will develop into HURRICANE HILDA, or at the very least TROPICAL STORM HILDA.

In addition, a Tropical Depression is forming to the East of the Gulf of Mexico. If it continues to grow, HURRICANE BILL may very well be followed by TROPICAL STORM DANNY or HURRICANE DANNY.
