Eugene

The GPM core observatory satellite had another excellent view of Eastern Pacific tropical storm Eugene on July 11, 2017 at 0231 UTC. Eugene was weakening as it traveled toward the northwest over progressively cooler waters. The only remaining strong convective activity was seen in Eugene's northwestern quadrant. GPM's Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) data revealed that some of these convective storms northwest of Eugene's center of circulation were dropping rain at a rate of more than 70 mm (2.8 inches) per hour. A 3-D view of the dissipating tropical storm was developed using GPM's

The TRMM satellite showed that tropical storm Eugene was very well organized with heavy thunderstorms located south of a forming eyewall on 1 August 2011 at 1350 UTC. Eugene is expected to move to the northwest and stay off the Mexican coast as have all eastern Pacific tropical cyclones except Beatriz so far this year.
