    Carlotta, a Category 1 storm, is about 760 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California with maximum sustained winds of 85 and moving west at 10 mph.

    NHC, in its 2 p.m. PDT update , forecasts a slower westward to west-northwestward motion during the next few days.

    Daniel formed in the far western east Pacific on Saturday morning and is expected to be a short-lived storm, according to NHC .

    In its 2 p.m. PDT update , Daniel is about 1,530 miles west-southwest of Baja California with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was moving north at 2 mph.

    NHC anticipates a turn toward the northeast over the "next several days with a gradual increase in forward speed."

    Then some gradual weakening is expected thereafter.
