Tropical Storm Cosme begins to weaken in Eastern Pacific, expected to become post-tropical
Cosme is the third named storm in the Eastern Pacific since the start of that basin's hurricane season on May 15, with Tropical Storm Alvin already forming and dissipating and Tropical Storm Barbara currently active and located a few hundred miles to the east of Cosme.
Cosme, Barbara continue to weaken in eastern Pacific
Tropical storms Barbara and Cosme are continuing to lose strength in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and both storms are expected to dissipate by the end of the week.
Tropical Storm Cosme is beginning to weaken in the Eastern Pacific and is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone by Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
Cosme is located about 595 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.
Cosme is moving toward the northwest near 3 mph. A very slow turn toward the north and north-northeast is expected Wednesday, followed by a faster motion toward the northeast, the agency notes in its latest advisory.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast, and the system is forecast to dissipate late Thursday or Friday.
