Tropical Storm Fausto has formed off Mexico’s southwest Pacific coast. It emerged from a tropical depression approximately 750 miles south-southwest of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. The U.S. National Hurricane Center expects Fausto to strengthen steadily, potentially developing into a hurricane by Monday night. The storm currently has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and is moving west-northwest at 13 mph. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect at this time.
In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Elida is weakening. On Sunday, it was centered about 1,015 miles west of the southern Baja peninsula with winds of 60 mph. It is expected to become a remnant low shortly.
Meanwhile, the Miami-based hurricane center is monitoring a tropical depression in the warm Gulf of Mexico waters south-southeast of the Florida Panhandle. Forecasters predict it will strengthen into a tropical storm soon. A tropical storm watch has been issued for regions from the Florida Panhandle to the Alabama border.
This slow-moving system is predicted to travel near or along the northern Gulf Coast in the upcoming days. Significant rainfall is possible for northern Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana as the storm advances west toward Texas. As of Sunday afternoon, the depression remained nearly stationary, located roughly 190 miles south-southeast of Panama City, Florida, with winds of 30 mph.
