MIAMI — Two tropical storms gathered strength off Mexico's Pacific coast Monday, with one forecast to become a hurricane later in the day, forecasters warned.
Tropical Storm Barbara was about 185 miles (295 kilometres) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico early on Monday, with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 km/h), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Barbara is expected to continue moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph for the next couple of days. It will reach hurricane strength later on Monday but should begin weakening by Tuesday, the NHC said.
The storm may bring total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches (51 to 101 millimetres) to coastal areas of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco states, with the possibility of localized flooding on Monday.
The NHC said swells from Barbara were likely to form life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the southwestern Mexican coast, with gusty winds likely.
Another tropical storm, Cosme, strengthened slightly Monday but remained well off the coast of Mexico, about 630 miles (1,015 kilometres) south-southwest of the tip of Baja California, the NHC said.
At 2 a.m. local time it had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and was moving west-northwest at 9 mph. Cosme is expected to reach near-hurricane strength on Monday before turning to the northeast and picking up speed Tuesday into Wednesday.

Colleen Bready's Forecast: Cool and cloudy start to week

Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for June 9, 2025. Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for June 9, 2025. After some much-needed rain, the week gets off to a cool and cloudy start on Monday in Winnipeg. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said the city was doused with 19 mm of rainfall at The Forks over the weekend. The weather agency said general rainfall amounts of 20-40 mm fell in Manitoba over a 36-hour period. Flin Flon, on the other hand, a region that needs rain more than most, received among the least with just 2 mm – not nearly enough to extinguish a massive wildfire in the area. Monday will be a dry day for most wildfire zones across northern Manitoba, with light winds and temperatures reaching the low to upper teens. ECCC air quality warnings remain in effect across the north and in southeastern regions where wildfires also continue to burn. Expect cool, cloudy, windy and drizzly conditions in Winnipeg and the southeast on Monday. Temperatures will only reach 13 C to 15 C – up to 10 degrees below seasonal norms. Those winds will be gusting from the north, too. Aside from areas close to wildfires, air quality is high enough across the south on Monday that no alert is needed. Monday will be a more seasonably warm and bright day, with highs in the low 20s and increasing sunshine.

Hot spell persists in southern B.C. after breaking century-old records

An early season hot spell that has brought temperatures approaching 40 C to parts of southern British Columbia, breaking more than a dozen daily heat records, won't be lifting until at least Tuesday. Temperatures peaked at 39.3 C in Lytton, B.C., on Sunday, making it the hottest spot in the country and breaking a daily record set two years ago. Also among the 15 daily records set Sunday were temperatures of 31.7 C in Nanaimo and 32.3 C in Pitt Meadows, both breaking high marks set in 1903. Special weather statements remain in effect for the southwest and northeast due to the heat, which Environment Canada says can feel worse because people aren't acclimatized to higher temperatures at this point in the year. The weather agency says the "early season heat event" will last into the week in Howe Sound, Whistler, Pemberton and inland Vancouver Island, as well as Interior areas. However, the agency says temperatures are set to cool on Tuesday elsewhere in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island. Daily high temperatures are expected to remain in the high 20s to low 30s in coastal areas, reaching into the mid-to-high 30s inland.
