MEXICO CITY, July 10 (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Carlos formed off Mexico's Pacific coast and was expected to turn into a hurricane, though the storm was heading west and away from land, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Friday.

Carlos was located about 910 miles (1,465 km) south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, with sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph).

"Additional strengthening is expected and Carlos is forecast to become a hurricane during the next day or two," the Miami-based center said. (Reporting by Jason Lange; editing by Todd Eastham)
