*** UPDATE SEPTEMBER 10 - 10:30 PM ***
Tropical Storm Odile is strengthening off the coast of southern Mexico, and the first tropical storm watch has been posted for the Mexican coast.
Wednesday evening, the government of Mexico issued a tropical storm watch for its Pacific coast from Lazaro Cardenas, in the state of Michoacan, westward to Manzanillo, in the state of Colima.
This is a relatively short stretch of coast, and for now the watches do not include the resort cities of Acapulco, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, or Puerto Vallarta. However, this could change based on future refinements to the forecast . . .
