We're not talking about the new Plain White Tee's song with a similar name. It's actually the newest tropical storm in the Pacific. That means they are two up on us.
Tropical storm Dalila formed in the Pacific Ocean near Mexico on Monday and was expected to head up the coast over the next few days but not make landfall.
"It cannot be ruled out that Dalila could become a hurricane," the hurricane center said on its Web site. "However ... the storm has work to do to overcome its internal disorganization."
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph.
Mexico's Pacific coast was blitzed with hurricanes and storms last year but has not been hit so far in 2007.
We're still waiting in the Atlantic hurricane basin. Our next named storm will be Chantal.
