MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Gil has formed in the eastern Pacific Ocean and isn’t expected to threaten land as it strengthens, forecasters said Thursday.
The storm is forecast to remain over open water and become a hurricane Friday, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said. It’s about 785 miles (1,263 kilometers) south-southwest of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico.
Gil had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph) and was moving west at 15 mph (24 kph).
There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect. The storm is expected to turn to the west-northwest in the coming days.
