MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Gil was expected to become a hurricane in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Friday but wasn’t expected to threaten land, forecasters said. The Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said the storm is about 870 miles (1,400 kilometers) southwest of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico.

Hurricane Iona rapidly weakened early today as it tracked well south of the state, while Tropical Storm Keli raced westward on a path also keeping it far from the Hawaiian Islands, forecasters said.
