No watches or warnings are out.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Wednesday the storm had maximum sustained winds near 75 mph. It was centered about 280 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. It’s nearly 400 miles (645 kilometers) south-southeast off the southern tip of Baja, Calif.
