MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Priscilla formed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico on Saturday.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said Priscilla was a “large tropical storm.”
Its maximum sustained winds were 45 mph (75 kph), the center said, and it was located about 285 miles (460 kilometers) south-southwest of Manzanillo and headed toward the northwest at 7 mph (11 kph).
A tropical storm watch was issued for parts of the coast of southwestern Mexico.
Priscilla was forecast to reach hurricane status Sunday and generally move parallel to the coast in the coming days.
