Tropical Storm Ivo formed Wednesday off the coast of Baja California but is expected to remain in the Eastern Pacific.

Ivo was centered 2,734 miles east-southeast of Hilo at 5 a.m. today and was packing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and moving west at 12 mph. However, a turn to the northwest is expected by tomorrow and Ivo is anticipated to move generally north-northwestward this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph with higher gusts. Ivo could become a hurricane later tonight or tomorrow but should begin to weaken on Saturday, weather officials said.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles from Ivo’s center.
