Tropical Storm Kristy is 170 miles south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and 380 miles south-southeast of the southern tip of Baja California, according to the National Weather Service.

While there are no tropical storm watches or warnings in effect from Kristy, the NWS advised "interests in southern Baja California" to "monitor the progress of Kristy."

As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, Kristy was moving northwest at 12 mph. Based on that movement, the storm is expected to be going away from Mexico's southwestern coast and toward the southern tip of Baja California within the next 48 hours.

"Any deviation to the north of the forecast track would require a tropical storm watch or warning for a portion of extreme southern Baja California," the NWS said.

Kristy is producing heavy rainfall on the southwestern coast of Mexico, although those showers should diminish Wednesday night and Thursday, the weather service said.
