US EditionTropical Storm Erick Forms Near Southern Mexico, National Hurricane Center Says
- Tropical Storm Erick has developed in the Eastern Pacific near southern Mexico and is predicted to intensify into a Category 2 hurricane by Thursday, when it is expected to make landfall.
- Warm ocean waters, favorable upper-level winds, and ample moisture have caused Erick to strengthen rapidly, leading to hurricane watches along Mexico's southwest coast.
- Oaxaca and Guerrero are expected to experience heavy rainfall ranging from 8 to 16 inches, with some areas potentially receiving as much as 20 inches, leading to dangerous flash floods and mudslides in the mountainous coastal regions.
- NOAA urged residents to write down and share hurricane plans, assemble disaster supplies, and check insurance early since flood policies require a 30-day waiting period.
- The storm poses serious flooding and mudslide risks for southern Mexico, emphasizing the need for preparedness as Erick approaches landfall with winds near 100 mph.
