After a short stint as a tropical storm, Lester has weakened back
to a tropical depression off Mexico's southern shores. Tropical
Depression Lester is located 75 miles west-southwest of Acapulco,
Mexico, late Wednesday afternoon, EDT. With top sustained winds near
30 mph, the depression is drifting westward at 5 mph. Lester is
forecast to dissipate as a cyclone within 12 hours, but the threat of
excessive rainfall will persist over portions of the southern coast of
Mexico for another day or two.
Downpours unrelated to Lester pelted parts of southeastern Mexico
Tuesday night and Wednesday. In Villahermosa, rainfall was almost 3.3
inches within less than twelve hours; most of this actually came
during a cloudburst lasting less than three hours.
Tokage is now a typhoon plying the southern Philippine Sea. Late
Wednesday afternoon, EDT, Typhoon Tokage is centered 305 miles north
of Yap. The storm is heading towards the west at 15 mph with highest
sustained winds of 85 mph. Tokage is forecast to become a powerful
typhoon during the next few days while moving more-or-less
northwestward over open waters.
A tropical wave over the western North Pacific Ocean near eastern
Micronesia is being watched as a candidate to become the region's next
tropical cyclone. Wednesday morning, EDT, this wave is between the
eastern Caroline Islands and the Marshall Islands and it is drifting
towards the west-northwest.
Across the vastness of Canada, highly varied weather early this
week has been highlighted on opposite shores by drenching rains. In
the east, a sodden Atlantic storm poured 5.2 inches of rain upon
Moncton, New Brunswick. In the Pacific Coast, rainfall was 6.6 inches
within less than three days at Mcinnes Island.
Results from a bout of thundery downpours over southern South
America include 3.9 inches at Rio Grande, Brasil, and 3.6 inches at
San Estanislao, Paraguay. These rains fell within less than one day
ended Wednesday morning.
It has been a warm week thus far over south-central Siberian
Russia. In the hills sloping towards the Trans-Siberian Railway from
the Altai Mountains, high temperatures of 70 to 75 degrees were set
Tuesday and Wednesday. Readings were above average by 20 to 30
degrees.
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, hit a withering 101 degrees
Wednesday. This excessive heat, which came on the heals of a
97-degree scorcher Tuesday, bested the average daily high by 31
degrees.
It's been rainy so far this week on the island of Santa Maria, one
of Portugal's Azores. As of late Wednesday, local time, almost 3.3
inches of rain had fallen here within 72 hours. On average, about 3.4
inches of rain wet Santa Maria during all of October.
