Flossie has started to weaken and is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone by late Thursday after the powerful storm became a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) on Tuesday off the southwestern coast of Mexico in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

Flossie became the sixth named storm of the 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season on Sunday when it gained strength and became a tropical storm – one step up from a tropical depression.

The government of Mexico had issued Tropical Storm Warnings and Tropical Storm Watches for southwestern areas of the country, but those have all since been discontinued.
