MIAMI — Tropical Storm Juliette formed Monday in the Pacific Ocean hundreds of miles from Mexico’s Baja California peninsula as Tropical Storm Fernand churned in the Atlantic Ocean.
No coastal watches or warnings were in effect for either storm, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Juliette posed no immediate threat to land, forecasters said. The storm was about 440 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.
It was moving west-northwest at 13 mph. Some strengthening was forecast through Tuesday, with weakening starting Wednesday.
In the Atlantic basin, Fernand formed Saturday but was also far from land and forecast to remain over open ocean waters. It was about 360 miles east-northeast of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and heading north-northeast at 12 mph.
The storm was expected to turn more to the northeast as it moves away from Bermuda and weaken starting Monday night.
