Tropical Storm Alvin Expected To Form In The Pacific
on May 28, 2025
First Tropical Storm Expected To Hit The Southwestern Coast This Week
The first tropical storm of the 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season is expected to develop this week approximately 300 miles off the southwestern coast of Mexico.
Named “Tropical Storm Alvin,” the National Hurricane Center suggests that the powerful storm could reach low-grade hurricane strength by Friday as the majority of computer forecast models suggest a western movement over the next few days before it then turns north bound.
“Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization near a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles south of the coast of southern Mexico,” the National Hurricane Center said in an update on May 28. “While the system still lacks a well-defined circulation, environmental conditions are favorable for further development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form today as the low moves generally west-northwestward at 5 to 10 kt.”
The official 2025 Pacific hurricane season began on May 15, and will run through November 30. For the Central Pacific, the season starts just two weeks later on June 1, also concluding on November 30.

The Storm’s Predicted Impact
The storm is expected to bring wet weather to parts of Western Mexico through Friday, and while its path remains unclear, it has the potential to weaken offshore or move into certain regions of the country.
Although the storm poses no current threat to the United States, the moisture may lead to an increased chance of humidity and thunderstorms in southern regions bordering Mexico.
This is a developing story.
