MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Celia maintained strength Sunday over the Pacific Ocean well off southern Mexico. Forecasters said it was headed farther out to sea.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami warned large ocean swells from Celia would produce dangerous surf along portions of Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Celia was centered about 340 miles (550 kilometers) south-southeast of Acapulco, the center said at 5 a.m. EDT. Maximum sustained winds were 65 mph (100 kilometers per hour). Cecilia was moving westward at 8 mph (13 kilometers per hour).
Also Sunday, Tropical Storm Blas weakened as its winds fell to about 45 mph (75 kilometers per hour). Blas was centered 405 miles (650 kilometers) south-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
