Tropical Depression Three-E formed in the Eastern Pacific on Sunday morning and is expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Cosme in a matter of hours.

Tropical Storm Barbara formed off the southern coast of Mexico on Sunday morning, and forecasters say it's expected to become the first hurricane of the season in the Eastern Pacific.
