Tropical Storm Octave inched closer to Mexico's Baja California peninsula earlier today, weakening only slightly, according to Reuters.
The storm, located around 175 miles south of Cabo San Lazaro on the west coast of the peninsula, was seen traveling north at approximately 13 mph, according to Miami's National Hurricane Center.
Octave had sustained wind speeds of up to 60 mph, down from Oct. 13, and storm is expected to reach the west coast on Oct. 15.
The storm will likely cause 3 to 8 inches of rain along much of the peninsula which "will be accompanied by large and destructive waves," the center said in a statement.
