MEXICO CITY (AP) — The first named storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane system is moving off the southwestern coast of Mexico, though forecasters don’t expect it to pose any threat to land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said late Sunday that Tropical Storm Andres was expected to stay well out to sea and head deeper into the open seas.
The storm, which formed Sunday, was centered about 595 miles (960 kilometers) south of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph).
Forecasters said the storm was likely to begin weakening soon and should be a remnant low by Tuesday.
