Tropical Storm Alvin has officially become the first named storm of the eastern North Pacific hurricane season, forecasters announced Thursday.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami reported that Alvin is currently located about 670 miles (1,080 kilometers) south-southeast of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. The storm is moving northwest at 10 mph (17 kph) and has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph).
No coastal watches or warnings were in effect Thursday morning, and Alvin is not expected to pose a threat to land. Forecasters predict the storm will strengthen later in the day before beginning to weaken on Friday.
The eastern North Pacific hurricane season spans from May 15 to November 30.
Across the region, attention is also turning to the Atlantic, where hurricane season begins Sunday. Meteorologists are forecasting another unusually busy season, though they expect it to be less severe than 2024 — the third-costliest season on record, which produced deadly storms Beryl, Helene, and Milton.
