The US National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Blas could reach hurricane force late Wednesday before losing force while moving into the open ocean.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph) late Tuesday morning and it was centered about 380 miles (615 kilometers) south-southeast of Manzanillo, Mexico. Blas was moving north at 2 mph (4 kph).
The hurricane center said the storm is likely to kick up dangerous surf conditions along the coast.
The season’s first storm, Hurricane Agatharan ashore near Puerto Angel in Oaxaca state on May 30 with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 kph). Authorities said it killed at least nine people, with five others missing suspected to be dead.
