Tropical Depression Three-E Forms (The Weather Channel)

AFP Update: Tropical Storm Cosme was on track to becoming a hurricane on Tuesday, as it swirled off Mexico's Pacific coast, forecasters said. At 0900 GMT, Cosme was about 385 miles west southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, with maximum sustained winds of 65 miles (100 kilometers) per hour. Forecasters said large swells created by Cosme will be felt along Mexico's Pacific coast from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes, and could cause dangerous surf and rip currents.

Tropical Depression 3-E took shape midday Sunday about 500 miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico, in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

The AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center expects the depression to continue strengthening, becoming Tropical Storm Cosme before the new workweek commences and likely a hurricane by or on Tuesday.

... While escaping the worst of the system, Mexico will occasionally see bands of heavy rain graze its southern coast, from Acapulco to Manzanillo to Puerto Vallarta, through midweek. Flash flooding is a concern.

Surf will also build along the coast during this time, making the water extremely dangerous for residents and vacationers to enter. That is especially true around Manzanillo where wave heights could approach or reach 15 feet Tuesday through Wednesday.
