Aletta, the first tropical storm of the 2018 season in the Eastern Pacific Basin, is now moving west at around 7 miles per hour and will not be a threat to any land.
David Zelinsky, a forecaster at the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC), said Aletta's maximum sustained winds have increased to 220 kilometers (140 miles) per hour. It could grow into a Category 4 sometime Friday.
Aletta is located about 500 miles west of Mexico's west coast and is moving even farther away from land over the Pacific Ocean.
