The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite flew over the Pacific Ocean on July 1 and acquired a true-color image of the remnants of Tropical Storm Emilia.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tropical Depression Six-E developed on June 27, 2018, at 5 p.m. EDT and strengthened into the fifth tropical storm of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Its initial location was at 13.3 degrees North and 108.5 degrees West, or about 480 miles (775 km) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported initial maximum sustained winds of 25 mph (55 km/h) and expected the system to strengthen as it moved away from Mexico.

By 5 a.m. EDT on June 28 the depression had strengthened, earning the name Tropical Storm Emilia. NCH reported that Emilia was moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) carrying maximum sustained winds near 40 mph (65 km/h).

Tropical Storm Emilia reached peak strength with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) at 3:00 a.m. EDT as it spun over open ocean about 620 mi (1,000 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. The storm continued to track away from land.

The NHC issued its final alert on Emilia at 3:00 a.m. EDT on July 1. At that time, Emilia was a remnant low located about 1,005 mi (1,615 km) west of the southern tip of Baja California. It carried maximum sustained winds of 30 mph (45 km/h). The NCH described the storm of simply a swirl of low-level clouds. Since the system was position over cool water and in a stable air mass, no significant deep convection was expected to return.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite flew over the Pacific Ocean on July 1 and acquired a true-color image of the remnants of Tropical Storm Emilia. While the low-level clouds are broad and cover a large portion of the ocean, only a hint of motion around a loose center remains.
