As Dalila continued to crawl away from land early Friday, Tropical Storm Erick formed south of Mexico.
The warm waters off the Mexican coast should help the system maintain its current status as a tropical storm.
The AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center expects this system to track northwestward through the weekend with its center of heaviest rain and strongest winds remaining offshore.
Its outer rain bands may still graze the southern Mexican coastline, accompanied by flooding downpours. That is especially true where the system will pass closest to land, likely from Acapulco to Manzanillo.
The system will also prolong the rough surf and rip current danger that was kicked up by Dalila along the south-central and southwestern coast, creating hazards to both residents and vacationers.

Meanwhile, Dalila has weakened into a tropical depression, spinning about 410 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. It will continue to spin away from mainland Mexico, eventually reaching cooler waters and weakening further over the weekend.
Rough surf and rip currents will remain a concern along the Mexican southwestern coastline, near Manzanillo, through late Thursday as Dalila's flooding rain and damaging winds stay well offshore.
