The system formed hundreds of miles off the west coast of Mexico, had sustained winds of 40 mph and was moving out to sea at 6 mph.
It is not expected to threaten land and will probably dissipate within 48 hours
The storm is notable for its early arrival, just beating out the record set by Tropical Storm Adrian, which strengthened to named status on May 10, 2017.
