MIAMI (AP) — Forecasters say Tropical Storm Jova has formed in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center said Thursday afternoon that Jova was centered about 495 miles (797 kilometers) south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. Forecasters say Jova could become a hurricane by Saturday.
The storm’s exact path remains uncertain, but models show Jova could make landfall over the mainland of Mexico sometime next week.
