Tropical storm Rosa gets stronger: it's off the Pacific coast of Mexico

The tropical storm Rosa was formed off the Pacific coast on Tuesday and quickly became stronger. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has said Rosa should become a hurricane overnight and could become a major hurricane on Thursday. Forecasters say it will remain far off the coast.

NHC stated that there was no coastal monitoring or warning in effect. However, the swells generated by Rosa will affect portions of the southwestern coast of Mexico and southern Baja California Peninsula later this week of the weekend. "These waves are likely to cause potentially deadly surf and tear conditions," they said.
