Tropical Storm Elida has been declared a hurricane, and the second of the season on the western coast of Mexico, AP reports:------------------------------------
According to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Hurricane Elida's center was located about 335 miles south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, early Monday. Elida is moving toward the west-northwest at about 16 mph. That motion is expected to continue with a decrease in forward speed over the next couple days. Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph with higher gusts. The hurricane center is expecting little change in strength over the next 24 hours.

This hurricane comes in the wake of Hurricane Bertha, which was downgraded to a tropical storm and petered out last week near Bermuda.
