Things continue to remain quiet across the Atlantic basin for the month of June. However, in the Eastern Pacific, multiple systems are being monitored, including Tropical Storm Barbara and Topical Storm Cosme. Barbara will remain offshore but will still bring the threat for high surf and rip currents along the West-Central Mexican coast. Both systems are rapidly weakening & will fall apart the next few days as they move north into cooler waters.
