The National Hurricane Center in Miami said that early Tuesday

Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and about 245 miles (390 kilometers)
south of the southern tip of Baja California.
It has maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (155 kph) and is
moving northwest at 10 mph (17 kph).
A tropical storm watch is in place for Baja California Sur from
Cabo San Lucas to Cabo San Lazaro.
On Monday night, the government of Baja California Sur announced
the cancellation of classes at all educational centers starting
Tuesday in Los Cabos and La Paz as a preventive measure. It also
set up a dozen shelters in Los Cabos for people living in areas
at risk.
Parts of southwestern Mexico could get up to 4 inches (10
centimeters) of rain from Priscilla’s outer bands through
Wednesday, bringing a flash flooding risk to Michoacán and
Colima states, forecasters said.
Swells from Priscilla were reaching the coast of Mexico. Life
threatening surf and rip currents were likely, the weather
service said.
Further out, Tropical Storm Octave was weakening about 795 miles
(1,280 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of Baja
California. Its maximum sustained winds were 50 mph (85 kph) and
