June 9 (UPI) -- Hurricane Barbara emerged as the first hurricane of the Pacific hurricane season on Monday. The National Hurricane Center reported that as of 10 a.m. EDT, Barbara was in the eastern Pacific Ocean approximately 155 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.

Hurricane Barbara becomes first hurricane of East Pacific season as NHC also keeps watch on Tropical Storm Cosme. A third system is forecast to become a tropical depression later this week or over the weekend. While all remains quiet in the tropical Atlantic basin, that's not the case in the eastern Pacific.
