Forecasters Expect Flossie to Stay Offshore

Flossie is currently located about 195-225 miles south-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico and is moving generally west northwestward at approximately 8-9 mph (13-15 kph).

The National Hurricane Center said maximum sustained winds are around 40-45 mph (65-75 kph), with higher gusts and the tropical storm could reach Category 2 hurricane status by July 2.

While the center of the storm is expected to remain offshore, it will track roughly parallel to the Mexican Pacific coast for the next few days.

Flossie is anticipated to produce significant heavy rainfall across the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco early this week.

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the southwestern coast of Mexico from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes with large waves and dangerous rip currents expected along beaches in the region.

Authorities are advising residents along the Pacific coast to stay updated on the latest forecasts and follow any advisories from local emergency agencies. While direct landfall is not currently anticipated, the close proximity of the strengthening storm will bring significant rainfall, wind, and hazardous surf conditions to a large portion of Mexico’s southwestern coast.

Tropical Storm Flossie is following on the heels of Erick, which made landfall in Mexico as a hurricane earlier this month.

The 2025 hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific Basin has been particularly active with six named storms already, compared to that of the Atlantic Basin, which has only had two named storms so far – Andrea and Barry.

Tropical Storm Barry Makes Landfall on Mexico’s East Coast

Tropical Storm Barry, the second named storm of this year’s Atlantic hurricane season, became a tropical depression by Sunday night June 29, when it made landfall over Mexico’s east coast about 15 miles south-southeast of Tampico, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
