"A new tropical storm has formed in the Pacific Ocean, potentially bringing dangerous winds, rain and floods as it rolls up the West Coast. The 13th named storm of the Pacific hurricane season has been dubbed Mario, and was called a 'mini' tropical storm by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on Friday. The storm currently has sustained winds of approximately 40 mph and is expected to impact southern Mexico through the weekend before moving further up the coast, closer to the US border."
"Forecasters warned that Mario is expected to strengthen as it moves north closer to the southwest US, with experts at AccuWeather adding that the storm could turn into a hurricane before reaching the Baja California Peninsula. AccuWeather senior meteorologist Heather Zehr said: 'Some moisture may begin to show up in the form of clouds and spotty showers as early as Tuesday in parts of Southern California, Arizona and southern Nevada, but it is more likely from Wednesday on,' Zehr said."
