Tracking the Tropics: Celia tailing Blas in Eastern Pacific
Meteorologists are watching two tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific while the Atlantic remains quiet. What was Hurricane Blas is a hurricane no more – downgraded to a tropical storm late Friday evening as peak winds dropped to 70 mph. It is 365 miles off the western coast of Mexico, and Tropical Storm Celia is nearly 200 miles south of the coasts of El Salvador and Guatemala.
