MEXICO CITY (June 22, 2009)--Tropical Storm Andres was strengthening Monday off the southwestern coast of Mexico and forecasters say in the coming days it could become a hurricane.

It was too soon to tell if the storm will make landfall, but a tropical storm watch has been issued along part of the coast.

Late Sunday night, Andres became the first named storm of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season, which began May 15 and ends November 30 and is typically busiest between July and September.

Andres was a late arrival.

Forecasters say it has been 40 years since it took so long in the Eastern Pacific season for a named storm to come along.
