SAPA Update: Simon strengthened to become the 13th named hurricane of the 2014 eastern North Pacific hurricane season as it swirled off the Mexican coast on Saturday. The new hurricane comes just as life had returned to near-normal following Hurricane Odile.

While Simon is currently churning away from Mexico, the tropical storm should eventually turn and target Mexico's Baja California.

Tropical Storm Simon took shape early Thursday morning about 135 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.

While Simon is currently tracking to the west-northwest away from mainland Mexico, residents should not let their guard down. That includes those living or planning to visit Baja California next week.

Downpours associated with Simon will continue to stream onto southwestern mainland Mexico through Friday, soaking the states of western Guerrero, western Michoacan, Colima, western Jalisco and Nayarit. At the same time, rough surf will create hazards for beachgoers and operators of small craft.
