Update: Hurricane Marty Downgraded to Tropical Storm Off Mexico (Reuters)

Tropical Storm Marty formed in the eastern Pacific on Saturday night and will threaten southwest Mexico with wind and rain this upcoming week.

A low pressure system located about 280 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico strengthened into Tropical Depression 17-E Saturday afternoon PDT and then tropical storm Marty Saturday night PDT. In addition to 17-E, another area is being monitored just south of Guatemala, though development is not imminent with that system.



Marty is spinning over water more than sufficient for strengthening but will battle disruptive wind shear as it tracks slowly north toward the southwest Mexican coast.
