Tropical Storm Dalila and the 5th Expected Tropical Storm Near Mexico and Central America (Invest 94E)
Marek Kučera 
The Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone season is heating up as Tropical Storm Dalila continues to churn off the southwestern coast of Mexico, while meteorologists are closely monitoring a developing system, Invest 94E, which could soon become the fifth named tropical storm near Mexico and Central America this season.
🌪️ Tropical Storm Dalila Status
Tropical Storm Dalila formed recently over warm Pacific waters, exhibiting sustained winds near 65 mph (105 km/h). It is currently moving northwestward away from the Mexican coast, posing limited immediate threat to land but maintaining significant strength over open waters. Dalila is expected to maintain tropical storm strength for the next couple of days before weakening due to cooler waters and increasing wind shear.
🌧️ Invest 94E – The Next Potential Tropical Storm
Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has identified Invest 94E, an area of disturbed weather located south of Mexico and near Central America, with potential for further development. Environmental conditions—including warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear—are conducive to strengthening, making it likely that this system will organize into the fifth named storm of the season.
Forecasters are closely watching the system’s track and intensity, as it could bring heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and localized flooding to parts of southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize within the next several days.
🌡️ Climate Context and Season Outlook
This active start to the Pacific hurricane season reflects warmer-than-average ocean temperatures and favorable atmospheric patterns, which often enhance tropical cyclone formation near Mexico and Central America. The appearance of multiple systems in quick succession raises concerns about potential impacts on coastal communities and emphasizes the importance of early preparedness.
