Hurricane season is starting off with a bang. TD Alette is dying near 13.8N 113.8W and another area of interest is near 12N 100W which might develop in the next few days (in fact one model is pretty aggressive with it and has it heading towards me on Thursday) and late in the forecast period another critter pops up south of Huatulco.

There are NO watches or warnings.
