MIAMI (AP) -- A tropical depression is becoming better organized
over the Pacific but is not a threat to land.

The depression's maximum sustained winds Wednesday afternoon are near 35 mph . The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami
says gradual strengthening is expected and the depression could
become a tropical storm later in the day.

The depression is centered about 445 miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is moving west-northwest near 12 mph. The depression's forecast track shows it going farther out to sea.
