MEXICO CITY — Tropical Storm Lidia formed off Mexico’s Pacific coast Wednesday as authorities warned the Baja California Peninsula to prepare for high winds, heavy rain and a dangerous storm surge along a shore that includes the twin resort cities of Los Cabos.
A new tropical storm, Irma, also formed far out in the eastern Atlantic but forecasters said it did not pose an immediate threat to land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Lidia was expected to approach the southern tip of Baja California on Thursday night. It said some strengthening was expected and the storm “still has the opportunity to be near hurricane strength” before landfall.
Mexican authorities posted a tropical storm warning for the southern part of the Baja peninsula. A hurricane watch also was issued.
