Hurricane Flossie experienced a period of rapid intensification on Tuesday and is now a Category 3 hurricane as it moves away from the southwestern coast of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center.

A sixth named storm has formed just six weeks into the eastern Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storm Flossie materialized over the weekend about 400 miles west of Nicaragua, and could skim along Mexico’s west coast before bringing wet weather to the Baja Peninsula late in the week.
