Tropical Depression Six-E formed in the Eastern Pacific Ocean early Sunday morning just off the coast of southern Mexico and is expected to become a hurricane early this week, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained winds below 39 mph. Once a tropical depression forms, the NHC gives it a number based on its order of formation in the hurricane season and a suffix corresponding to the Atlantic and the Eastern and Central Pacific basins. The "E" indicates the depression's location.
