ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO — The eastern Pacific continues its active tropical phase as Tropical Depression Four-Ehas now strengthened into Tropical Storm Dalila, marking another named storm in the 2025 Pacific hurricane season.

According to the TNW News Hurricane Operations Center, Dalila was located 195 miles south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, moving north-northwest at 10 mph. A gradual curve to the northwest is expected later today, followed by a west-northwest turn by Sunday, keeping the storm offshore yet closely paralleling Mexico’s Pacific coastline.

“Dalila poses a significant rain and surf threat despite staying offshore,” said Todd Nardone, General Manager and Chief of Hurricane Operations at TNW News. “The cone of uncertainty has expanded, and we’ve issued a TNW operational alert for areas under tropical storm warnings.”
