She will likely become a post-tropical storm on Tuesday as the system continues to weaken as it moves away from the western coast of Mexico.
As of Monday afternoon, Celia had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was located about 535 miles to the southwest of the southern tip of Baja, California.
Tropical Storm Celia was moving to the west-northwest at about 12 mph over the open waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
