MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Dora formed Tuesday off Mexico’s western Pacific coast but will not be a threat to land, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center
Forecasters say that while the storm is expected to strengthen, it is moving generally westward and heading away from land.
The center said Dora was located 275 miles (445 kilometers) southwest of the Pacific coast port of Manzanillo.
The storm had winds of 40 miles per hour (65 kph) and was moving west-northwest at 16 mph (26 kph).
While Dora might grow to hurricane force later in the weak, it is expected to continue moving into the Pacific.
