After forming in the Pacific on Wednesday, Douglas was located about 155 miles (250 kilometers) south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, on the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Douglas had winds of about 30 mph (45 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

The storm was moving west-northwest at 9 mph (14 kph), away from land, and was expected to turn west and die out at sea by Friday after hitting cooler waters, forecasters said.

Meanwhile, former hurricane Boris weakened to a tropical storm far out in the Pacific and was expected to become a remnant in a day.

Tropical Storm Cristina dissipated without reaching land at the end of June.

The first tropical storm of the eastern Pacific season, Alma, hit Nicaragua's northwest corner.
