Even though it is October, hurricane season isn't over just yet! Right now, the Atlantic Ocean is quiet, but it's a different story in the Pacific Ocean as there are two active storms.
Tropical Storm Irwin has winds of 50 mph and it's moving at a very slow speed of 5 mph towards the East-Northeast. It is expected to stay a tropical storm at least through Friday.
Hurricane Jova is expected to make landfall in Western Mexico by the middle of this week. Right now, Jova has winds of 90 mph and is churning towards the East at 8 mph. It is forecasted to make landfall as a Hurricane late Tuesday night(track of storm shown below). Hurricane warnings are in effect for areas along Western Mexico.
Meteorologists are also keeping an eye on another low pressure system near Western Mexico. Forecasters say it has a 70% chance of developing into a tropical storm over the next 48 hours (the area of concern is circled in red in the top image).
