Tropical Storm Julio formed Tuesday in the Pacific Ocean about 815 miles southwest of Baja California, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.

Forecasters say the storm currently poses no threat to land, and no coastal watches or warnings are in effect.

Julio is expected to strengthen slightly before being absorbed by the stronger Tropical Storm Iselle, which had winds of 70 mph and was located about 660 miles west of Baja California.

💡
Elsewhere in the Central Pacific, Tropical Storm Lala continues to produce winds of about 50 mph but also poses no current threat to land. Earlier this month, Lala struck Hawaii as a hurricane and caused significant flooding.

Another system, Moke, is no longer classified as a tropical cyclone after passing near Hawaii as a tropical storm.

The National Hurricane Center continues monitoring the Pacific systems, but no significant land impacts are currently expected from Julio or Iselle.
