BAJA, MEXICO - A tropical storm, Frank, began brewing in the Pacific with a trajectory towards Mexico, first reported on Friday to strengthen over the weekend as it headed towards the coast.

Starting to form about 260 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico early Friday morning, according the The Weather Channel, Frank has remained a tropical storm according to the most recent reports despite having showed the potential to form into a hurricane.

Frank was placed under watch by the National Hurricane Center on Friday afternoon, declared as posing potential to bring higher waves to the Mexican coast, but posing no danger to the U.S. mainland. Since that time, there has been periodic publc advisories but no coastal watches or warnings were put into effect over the weekend.

As of Friday, July 22 at 2 p.m., Frank was located about 360 miles southeast of the southern tip of Baja. It as projected to gain strength over the weekend until reaching cooler weather, which should happen today. This will likely weaken Frank's strength and prevent it from posting a threat to the mainland, as well as agriculture or transit.

Frank is the sixth tropical storm to form on the eastern Pacific this month, with the hurricane season in full swing. AndNowUKnow will continue to keep an eye on this and other weather systems that could affect the industry.
