MEXICO CITY, July 3, (AP): Hurricane Flossie continued to weaken as a Category 1 hurricane off Mexico’s southwestern Pacific coast with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), the U SNational Hurricane Center said. It's expected to remain offshore and dissipate Thursday, but swells as well as "life-threatening” surf and rip currents were expected in southwestern Mexico and the Baja California peninsula in the coming days.

The Miami-based center said Flossie was about 215 miles (345 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas and was moving northwest off the Mexican coast at 8 mph (13 kph). It was expected to skirt the coast for a few days while dropping rain on several Mexican states. Flossie became a powerful Category 3 hurricane late on Tuesday, but gradually weakened throughout Wednesday.
