This is the earliest a Category 2 storm has made landfall along Mexico's Pacific Coast.
Agatha is "forecast to be near major hurricane strength when it reaches the coast of southern Mexico on Monday," the National Hurricane Center said.
The forecasted period could be the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season.
There were 21 named storms in the Atlantic Ocean this year, including seven hurricanes.
The tropical storm is expected to be "near major hurricane strength" by the time it makes landfall, the National Hurricane Center said.

The National Hurricane Center says the former tropical storm may strengthen. CBS News forecasters say it could bring torrential downpours and flooding to Florida.
It was approaching the Dominican Republic after just missing Puerto Rico. Forecasters warned its heavy rains could cause dangerous flooding and mudslides.
Officials are forecasting 15 to 21 named storms instead of the 13 to 20 it predicted in May. Hurricane season lasts through the end of November, with its peak running from mid-August to mid-October.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an expanded emergency declaration to include 13 counties along or near the Gulf Coast.
This is storm number 29, breaking the record of 28 tropical storms set in the memorable season of 2005.
After slamming into Central America, Eta may have South Florida in its sights.
The storm is already drawing comparisons to 1998's Hurricane Mitch, which killed more than 9,000 people.
Eta rapidly strengthened into the most powerful hurricane so far this season, likely to bring storm surge of 12 to 18 feet to some spots in Nicaragua.
