The National Hurricane Center said a tropical storm is expected to form in the Pacific Ocean on Friday and continue strengthening on Saturday.

The eastern Pacific Ocean has spawned a new tropical storm, Dalila, which will swipe southern Mexico with flooding downpours and gusty winds.

Most spaghetti models, or computer models illustrating potential tropical cyclone paths, show the storm veering west into the Pacific, although one shows it taking a more northerly track through Mexico, with some impacts such as heavy rain possibly stretching into the U.S. Southwest.
