Dalila strengthened into a hurricane and is drifting southwestward in the Pacific, away from Mexico's coast. 

There are currently no coastal watches or warnings in place and the hurricane is expected to begin slowly weakening Thursday. 

According to the U.S. National Hurricane Center, swells generated by Dalila are affecting portions of Mexico's southwestern coast. 

"These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," the centre says.
