Saturday Morning Update

Mario gone
Yesterday Mario was classified with this large mass of disorganized showers and storms, west of the coast of Mexico. By this morning the convection did not show any additional organization and a satellite pass confirmed this. NHC now has classified the area as remnants.

Sunday Afternoon Update

Mario is back
Mario will be back for a short while. A deep convection burst is near the island of Socorro west of the Mexican coast. Most of the outlying showers and storms will avoid the Baja as Mario continues to move generally NW toward cooler water. This cooler water will rob the energy from the tropical storm within about 36 hours.
