MIAMI (AP) - Forecasters say Hurricane Adrian has weakened to a Category 3 storm off the Pacific coast of Mexico and is expected to stay offshore.

Forecasters say maximum sustained winds for the first hurricane of the 2011 season decreased Friday evening to about 125 mph (200 kph). It is expected to weaken further over the next two days.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami predicts the storm's center will stay well offshore.

The center of the storm was about 390 miles (630 km) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico. It is moving west-northwest at 12 mph (19 kph).
