BOSTON — Heavy rain and dangerous rip currents from a weak tropical system emptied East Coast beaches for a second straight weekend, while a hurricane that could clip Mexico’s coast next week grew stronger in the Pacific.
Jimena, the 10th named storm of the Pacific season, quickly became a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. Farther out in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Kevin formed with top winds of 45 mph.
Remnants of Tropical Storm Danny spun miles offshore in the Atlantic, causing mostly rain in the East. National Hurricane Center forecasters said Danny had been mostly absorbed by a low-pressure system associated with a cold front over North Carolina.
