While currently experiencing some wind shear, displacing some of its convection away from the center of circulation, the system is forecast to strengthen and become Tropical Storm Odile soon as it drifts toward the north-northwest over the next day or so. This wind shear is expected to weaken by later Thursday, allowing the system to gather more strength.
The eventual path of the future Odile is tricky.
One option is for the system to track far enough offshore such that only periphery impacts (outer rainbands, high surf, rip currents) are possible from near Manzanillo northward to the Baja Peninsula.
Another option is for future Odile to track much closer to the coast, bringing the threat of high winds, surge flooding, and torrential rain to the above-mentioned areas.
