The remnants of former Tropical Storm Nadine have reorganized into a new tropical storm in the eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern Mexico.
Because this is not Nadine’s original distribution, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has given it the next name on its eastern Pacific name list: Tropical Storm Kristy.
Nadine made landfall near Belize City, Belize, on Saturday afternoon with sustained winds of 60 miles per hour. After moving inland over Central America and Mexico, the storm weakened and dissipated Sunday before its remnants emerged over the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Tropical Storm Kristy formed Monday afternoon about 270 miles off the coast of Acapulco, Mexico.
According to the NHC, Kristy is expected to move west at a speed of 25 to 30 km/h, moving the land further away from the coast of Mexico in the coming days.
What is the difference between a tropical depression, a tropical storm and a hurricane?
Kristy is expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Wednesday. However, the FOX Forecast Center said the storm is not expected to impact land areas as it remains over the open waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean.
