At 5:00 PM PDT/0000 UTC the center of Tropical Storm Rick was located near latitude 20.6 north/longitude 109.7 west or about 165 miles/265 km/south of Cabo San Lucas Mexico and about 275 miles /445 km southwest of Mazatlan Mexico.
Rick is moving toward the northeast near 9 mph/15 km/hr and this motion with an increase in forward speed is expected later today and Wednesday.
On this track the center of Rick is expected to pass to the south of the southern tip of Baja California tonight or early Wednesday and approach the western coast of Mainland Mexico on Wednesday.
An Air Force reconnaissance aircraft investigating Rick this afternoon found maximum flight level winds of 70 kt in the northeast quadrant.
On the current track the center of Rick is expected to pass south of the southern tip of Baja California tonight and approach the coast of Mainland Mexico in about 24 hours.
