Hurricane Priscilla formed in the Pacific off southwestern Mexico, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to coastal areas, the National Hurricane Center reported Sunday.

Priscilla’s maximum sustained winds reached 75 mph (120 kph), and it was located about 285 miles (460 km) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, moving north-northwest at 3 mph (6 kph).

Coastal swells are creating life-threatening surf and rip currents, with flash flooding possible from up to 6 inches (15 cm) of rain in Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco, the Associated Press has reported.

Meanwhile, another Pacific storm, Octave, became a hurricane with 80 mph (130 kph) winds but poses no threat to land.
