First named hurricane in the Pacific

Things are starting to heat up out west in the Pacific as the first named hurricane has formed.  Hurricane Adrian is a Category four hurricane with sustained winds of 135 mph and moving very slowly to the west/northwest around 9 mph.  Adrian will likely decrease in intensity over the next couple of days and won't have a direct impact on land,  but large swells generated by Adrian will continue to affect southwestern Mexico for today and at least into the early weekend.

Moving over into the Atlantic and there are a couple of disturbances but no major development is expected.  Showers and storms will continue to have an impact on eastern Cuba and the Bahamas and the National Hurricane Center has it at a 10% chance of developing into a named tropical cyclone as the upper level winds are not too favorable for any further development.
