Forecasters are predicting more hurricanes for the Pacific coast this year and the first may be in the process of forming about 1,200 kilometers southeast of Manzanillo, Colima, and 1,285 kilometers south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur.
Tropical storm Andres, which formed early this morning, is the first named storm of the season and is moving in a west-northwesterly direction and generating winds of 95 km/h with gusts up to 110.
While forecast to become a Category 1 or 2 hurricane tomorrow, it is located well offshore and its trajectory has it staying there. Andres is expected to weaken by early next week.
However, big waves are expected to be generated by the system, mostly affecting Baja California, and heavy to intense rains in Jalisco, Michoacán and Guerrero, according to the national weather service.
Last month forecasters predicted a higher than normal number of hurricanes for the Pacific coast this year, and fewer on the Caribbean side. As many as seven storms could become Category 1 or 2 hurricanes and four could reach Categories 3, 4 or 5.
Another system forming off the southern coast of Oaxaca could bring rain and wind to that area and develop into a tropical storm early next week, said an Accuweather meteorologist.

Millions of lobsters on Tijuana beaches Efforts began Tuesday to return the live ones to the sea

The big waves delivered by a Pacific groundswell and climate change are a couple of reasons that have been offered for the appearance of millions of small lobsters on beaches around Tijuana.
The lobsters began showing up Monday morning. On Tuesday morning, local police and firefighters were joined by residents in efforts to return to the sea those that were still alive.
Members of the organization Border Project for Environmental Education have estimated that as many as 2.5 million of the crustaceans have been left high and dry, and cite El Niño as partially responsible.
Fire Chief Carlos Gopar described the lobsters as five to six centimeters long.
Local officials issued a call on Tuesday to local residents, particularly those who live in the beaches area, to assist with rescuing the lobsters and returning them to the sea.
They are also known as “baby lobsters,” a gastronomic delicacy for some, so the beaches are under surveillance to ensure they are not taken for sale or consumption.
