MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Gilma has strengthened in the eastern Pacific Ocean and is forecast to remain away from land this week.
No coastal watches or warnings were in effect Monday night for the storm, which was located about 720 miles (1,158 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico.
Gilma had strengthened to tropical storm status on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said, and could approach hurricane strength by the middle of the week.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (96 kph) and was moving west at about 10 mph (16 kph). Slow strengthening of Gilma was expected during the next few days, forecasters said.
The storm comes as Hurricane Ernesto churns in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, sending powerful swells toward the U.S. East Coast, generating dangerous rip currents and prompting many rescues.
