MEXICO CITY – The first named storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane system is moving off the southwestern coast of Mexico, though forecasters don’t expect it to pose any threat to land.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said late Sunday that Tropical Storm Andres is expected to stay well out to sea and head deeper into the open seas.
