Tropical Storm Andres Blows Into Mexico

Well it looks like we have our first tropical storm of the Pacific hurricane season. Tropical storm Andres has formed off the coast Mexico and looks like it may be gaining momentum. So far, winds have been clocked at 50 mph but if it continues to strengthen may be hurricane in just a matter of days.

Currently, Andres is located about 200 miles south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico and 300 miles southeast of Manzanillo, Mexico. At this time there is a tropical storm watch in effect for both Zihuatanejo and Manzanillo. Right now it isn’t clear if the storm will make landfall or even if it will make a landfall.

Luckily there are no cruise ship itineraries that will be impacted by this tropical storm. However, this does serve as a wake up call that tropical storm season is now in effect.
