Tropical Storm IVO forms near Mexico!

One-minute GOES-E visible imagery, microwave imagery and scatterometer data from this morning (6 August) indicate that the disturbance south of Mexico has become much better organized. The system has developed banding features, and the most recent TAFB Dvorak analysis shows a Final-T of 2.0. The ASCAT data showed peak winds between 30–35 knots, so advisories have been initiated on Tropical Storm Ivo, with an initial intensity of 40 mph (35 knots).
