MEXICO CITY Tropical Storm Andres formed off the southwest coast of Mexico over the weekend, becoming the earliest East Pacific named storm on record.
Andres weakened quickly and stayed far off coast, about 600 miles from the southern tip of Mexico s Baja California peninsula.
It is expected to head deeper into open water and not cause any damage, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
By Monday afternoon, the storm had top winds of about 35 mph and was classified as a tropical depression.

The first storm of the season has formed: Tropical Storm Andres. And it’s a history-maker.
The eastern Pacific hurricane season starts on May 15, two weeks earlier than its Atlantic counterpart.
That makes Andres a record-breaker, according to Colorado State University hurricane researcher Dr. Philip Klotzbach:

(CNN) The first tropical storm of the 2021 eastern Pacific hurricane season formed off the southwest coast of Mexico on Sunday.
Tropical Storm Andres is the earliest tropical storm to ever form during the satellite era in the eastern Pacific, surpassing Adrian in 2017. Andres also holds the distinction of developing before the official start of eastern Pacific hurricane season, which begins on May 15.
It’s not the first time a tropical system has developed before the official start of hurricane season. The eastern Pacific has had either a tropical depression or tropical storm form prior to the official season in three of the last five years.

Tropical Storm Andres on Sunday became the earliest named storm on record to develop in the eastern Pacific Ocean, according to the National Weather Service.
The system formed hundreds of miles off the west coast of Mexico, had sustained winds of 40 mph and was moving out to sea at 6 mph as of Sunday morning. It is not expected to threaten land and will probably dissipate within 48 hours, NWS predicted.
