Fausto Forms Offshore Mexico, Forecast to Become Hurricane by Monday Night
Forecasters expect steady to rapid strengthening, with Fausto reaching 110 mph by Tuesday before weakening later in the week.
- On Sunday, July 19, 2026, a tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Fausto off Mexico's Pacific coast, centered about 750 miles south-southwest of Baja California.
- Fausto currently maintains maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and is moving to the west-northwest at 13 mph across open Pacific waters.
- The National Hurricane Center in Miami reported the formation far out to sea, and no coastal warnings or watches are currently in effect for the region.
- By Monday night, July 20, 2026, Fausto is forecast to become a hurricane, with steady to rapid strengthening expected over the coming days.
- While the system remains far from land, Fausto's trajectory suggests continued movement away from Baja California, though meteorologists are monitoring the strengthening storm closely.
