Hurricane Flossie weakens to Category 2 further off Mexico's Pacific coast
This satellite image provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows Hurricane Flossie, Monday, July 1, 2025. (NOAA via AP) MEXICO CITY -- Hurricane Flossie strengthened overnight then weakened again Wednesday to a Category 2 hurricane off Mexico's southwestern Pacific coast with maximum sustained winds of 110 m.p.h. (175 km/h), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Flossie became a powerful Category 3 hurricane late on Tuesday, but was slated to steadily weaken on Wednesday and is expected to remain offshore. The Miami-based centre said Flossie was about 275 miles (445 kilometres) south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas and was moving west-northwest off the Mexican coast at 10 m.p.h. (17 km/h). It was expected to skirt the coast for a few days while dropping rain on several Mexican states. While its centre is forecast to remain offshore, swells as well as 'life-threatening' surf and rip currents were expected in southwestern Mexico and the Baja California peninsula in the coming days.

Hurricane Flossie Strengthens Further Off Mexico's Pacific Coast
Hurricane Flossie has strengthened into a powerful Category 3 hurricane off Mexico's southwestern Pacific coast with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph), according to the US National Hurricane Center in Miami. The hurricane center said Flossie would begin weakening later Wednesday. The center said Flossie was about 315 miles (505 kilometers) south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas and was moving west-northwest off the Mexican coast at 17 mph (10 kph). It was expected to skirt the coast for a few days while dropping rain on several Mexican states. While its center is forecast to remain offshore, rainfall up to 6 inches (150 mm) 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.

Hurricane Flossie has strengthened into a Category 3 storm: See tracker
Hurricane Flossie experienced a period of rapid intensification on Tuesday and is now a Category 3 hurricane as it moves away from the southwestern coast of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center. The hurricane center said early Wednesday morning, July 2, Flossie is located about 315 miles south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas with maximum sustained winds near 115 mph with higher gusts. The hurricane is moving toward the west-northwest, away from Mexico, and this general motion is expected for the next couple of days. Hurricane center forecasters said little change in strength is expected Wednesday morning, with "rapid weakening" expected to begin by the end of the day. Flossie is forecast to produce additional rainfall totals between 1 to 3 inches across coastal portions of the Mexican states of Michoacán, 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. The hurricane name game: Will people take a storm called Flossie seriously?

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 Flossie grows to Category 3 strength off Mexico's Pacific coast
This satellite image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows Hurricane Flossie, Monday, July 1, 2025. (NOAA via AP) MEXICO CITY — Hurricane Flossie strengthened to a Category 3 cyclone late Tuesday while remaining off the Pacific coast of Mexico. Flossie had maximum sustained winds of 185 kph (115 mph) and was moving west-northwest at about 10 mph (17 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Its higher wind speeds made Flossie a major hurricane, which are classified as Category 3 or above, with winds of at least 111 mph (180 kph). Flossie was about 315 miles (505 kilometers) south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was expected to continue a west-northwest to northwest motion with some further strengthening Wednesday before rapidly weakening. While that path kept the storm's center offshore, Flossie's outer bands were bringing heavy rain to coastal portions of Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco states. Mexico's government said Wednesday it had discontinued an earlier tropical storm Punta San Telmo to Playa Perula. More rain could fall in the affected areas into Wednesday.
