Mexico has issued a hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning for portions of the eastern Yucatan Peninsula northward to Cancun because of a storm system that's expected to strengthen in the coming hours.
As forecasters monitor weather conditions in the region, they also say that separately, on Mexico's Pacific Coast, Hurricane Genevieve continues to move away from the Baja California Peninsula.
Earlier, Genevieve caused at least two storm-related deaths when a teenage girl was caught by high surf and the adult who tried to rescue her drowned. The hurricane caused a great deal of damage in parts of the region and left left behind a significant amount of debris.
