MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Blas is heading out to sea off Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, but Tropical Storm Celia formed off Central America. Celia is expected to remain off the coast of El Salvador and Guatemala over the weekend. That could bring large rainfalls to the already-soaked Central American countries. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Friday that Celia had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and was about 145 miles (235 kms) south of San Salvador. It was moving north-northeast at 3 mph (6 kph). Blas had maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph) and was moving west at 13 mph (20 kph).
