MIAMI (AP) — Forecasters say Hurricane Kenneth has strengthened even more into a Category 3 storm in the eastern Pacific, although there is no current threat to land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Tuesday that Kenneth has become a major hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 125 mph. The storm was centered about 710 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, but was moving west at 12 mph away from the coast.
Kenneth could strengthen more before weakening on Wednesday. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
The eastern Pacific hurricane season ends Nov. 30.
