MEXICO CITY—The earliest tropical cyclone on record formed Saturday in the eastern North Pacific, far off the coast of Mexico.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Tropical Depression One-E had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, and while it was not forecast to strengthen into a named tropical storm before weakening, “it cannot be ruled out.”
