In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Flossie maintained its strength with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph). It was centered about 215 miles (345 kilometers) south-southwest of Acapulco and was moving west-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph).
A tropical storm watch remained in effect for Mexico's southwest coast from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes. A watch means tropical storm conditions are possible in the area within two days.
Flossie is expected to rapidly intensify into a hurricane late Monday or Tuesday, then skirt the coast for a few days. While its center is forecast to remain offshore, moderate rain was likely in parts of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco through early next week.
