Tropical storm Hernan, formed in the last hours in the Mexican Pacific, will produce heavy rains in several states of western Mexico, the National Meteorological Service (SMN) reported this Thursday.

"The center of tropical storm 'Hernan' is located 155 kilometers south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, in Jalisco. In interaction with a strong influx of moisture from the Pacific Ocean, it will generate intense rains in Nayarit, Jalisco, and Colima" the agency noted in its most recent report.

The storm registers sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour and gusts of 95 kilometers per hour.
