TROPICAL UPDATE JUNE 1 2017 0329 PM EDT

Tropical Beatriz forms from Tropical Depression 2-E off the Southern Mexican coast in the East Pacific.

We still see the Canadian model suggesting development and a track toward the east-northeast now and this may be over doing it a bit but this model suggest another low coming from the Yucatan Peninsula.  We now have the EURO model as well which is a more reliable model and that model has a more northeasterly track.  NHC calls for dissipation of this system over the mountainous terrain of Southern Mexico.  However, if the low survives the tracks over land and moves into the BOC (Bay of Campeche) or southern Gulf of Mexico, we could see redevelopment of this system.  So as for now we watch during the next few days and continue to monitor model runs...RTW
