A tropical storm warning was issued for the British territory. The storm is expected to make a gradual turn to the north and slow down in the next two days.

In the eastern Pacific, a tropical depresssion has formed off the southern coast of Mexico with winds of 35 mph (55 kph) and is forecast to remain offshore.
