Hurricane GUILLERMO on the way!!



THE ATLANTIC HURRICANE ACTIVITY HAS STARTED ALREADY
HERE IS ANOTHER HURRICANE

Hurricane GUILLERMO
STORM TYPE- CATEGORY 2
WEAKENING EXPECTED BY WEEKEND

Guillermo's maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph. Winds are expected to stay about the same for the next 12 hours, but the hurricane is expected to weaken Saturday as it moves over cooler water

Guillermo was centered about 1,275 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula on Friday afternoon. It's moving west near 15 mph.
Tropical Storm Guillermo formed on August 12 from a broad area of low pressure nearly 700 miles SW of Baja California. The system developed a good series of banding features and convection, and as a result, in the afternoon later that day, it strengthened into a tropical storm, the seventh in the eastern Pacific that year. OnAugust 14, it strengthened to become the fourth hurricane of the season, concurrent to the development of a good, banding type eye. That afternoon, Guillermo strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane with maximum winds increasing to 100 mph (155 km/h).
