The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Marie continues to weaken far off Mexico's Pacific coast.

The center says Marie has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph). At 5 a.m., the storm was essentially stationary, centered about 830 miles (1,335 kilometers) off the southern tip of Baja California.

Marie was the sixth hurricane of the eastern Pacific season. Tropical storm Norbert is also expected to remain well off the coast of Mexico. On Sunday morning, it was located about 240 miles (390 kilometers) south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, drifting west.
