MIAMI - Boris lost strength and returned to tropical storm status far out in the Pacific on Tuesday, after briefly reaching hurricane strength.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Boris briefly became the first hurricane of the eastern Pacific season, before its maximum sustained winds fell to about 70 mph.
Boris is located about 1,145 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, and is moving west and further out to sea.
The storm is expected to continue moving west, weaken and dissipate within four or five days.
Boris on Monday was a tropical storm and had even weakened during the day after strengthening Sunday.
Farther out in the Pacific on Monday, a second tropical storm, Cristina, weakened to a tropical depression.
Cristina formed just after Boris and was the third tropical storm of the eastern Pacific season.
