The third, Invest 99L, is a vigorous tropical wave which has recently…

The global tropics remain active today, but little has changed since yesterday. Hurricane Hilary weakened to a tropical storm last night, and has changed little in strength today. Tropical Storm Irwin has also changed very little in strength.

Tropical Storms Hilary and Irwin still expected to merge early next week As of 2:00 p.m. PDT…
