Hurricane Flossie tracker: See projected path, spaghetti models
Flossie is forecast to produce additional rainfall totals between 1 to 3 inches across coastal portions of the Mexican states of Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco through Wednesday. Swells generated by the storm are expected to affect portions of the southwestern Mexico coast and the Baja California peninsula during the next few days, which could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Another system in the Pacific Ocean has caught the eye of the hurricane center, as the agency said it is monitoring a disturbance several hundred miles offshore of southwestern Mexico.
The NHC said environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend or early next week as the storm moves west-northwestward.
Hurricane center forecasters give this system a 50% chance of formation through the next seven days.

NHC monitoring system off southeast US coast
Meanwhile in the Atlantic, the hurricane center said it is monitoring an area of low pressure that could develop along the Atlantic or Gulf coasts by this weekend along a weakening frontal boundary.
The NHC said environmental conditions appear "only marginally conducive" for some slow development, but a tropical or subtropical depression could form in the southeast over the weekend or early next week.
"Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible across portions of the southeast U.S., particularly across the west-central Florida coast," hurricane center forecasters said Wednesday morning.

Hurricane warning for Mexico coast as Flossie rapidly strengthens
Flossie has strengthened into a hurricane off Mexico 's southwestern Pacific coast. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Flossie became a Category 1 hurricane Monday night and has maximum sustained winds of 130 kph (80 mph). The hurricane center said Flossie was about 280 kilometers (175 miles) south of Manzanillo and was moving west-northwest off the Mexican coast at 17 kph (10 mph). Flossie was expected to skirt the coast for a few days while dropping rain on several Mexican states. Mexico's government earlier issued a tropical storm warning along the southwestern coast from Punta San Telmo to Playa Perula. A tropical storm watch remained in effect for other areas on the southwest coast from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes. A watch means tropical storm conditions are possible in the area within two days. While its center is forecast to remain offshore, rainfall up to 150 mm (6 inches) was likely for parts of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco into Wednesday, with the possibility of life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in steep terrain. Flossie is forecast to strengthen over the next 36 hours before weakening over cooler waters. Meanwhile, the remnants of Barry were bringing heavy rain to Mexico's Gulf coast after it came ashore as a tropical depression south of Tampico with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
