The first tropical storm of the 2025 hurricane season has formed.
Tropical Depression One-E strengthened to become Tropical Storm Alvin late Thursday morning, May 29.
It's packing 40 mph sustained winds and is located in the eastern Pacific, about 800 miles south of the southern tip of California.
The Atlantic hurricane season starts on Sunday, June 1, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 30. The eastern Pacific hurricane season began Thursday, May 15, and also runs through Nov. 30.
Meteorologists expect Alvin to intensify through Friday, May 30, with the potential to reach hurricane strength. Above-average sea surface temperatures could help fuel development.
A tropical storm has sustained winds from 39 to 73 mph. Hurricane-force winds start at 74 mph.
"There is a chance the current tropical rainstorm may wander far enough to the north along the west coast of Mexico to allow some moisture in the form of clouds and downpours to reach parts of Texas or New Mexico as early as this weekend," according to AccuWeather.
