A hurricane has formed off the coast of Mexico, the first storm to be classified as a hurricane in the eastern Pacific region so far this year.
The good news is that the hurricane does not appear, at this point, poised to make landfall in Mexico. The New York Times reported that, as of Wednesday afternoon, the storm was around 370 miles southwest of the city of Manzanillo and moving west at roughly six miles per hour — away from land.
