US EditionTropical Storm Barbara Strengthens Off Mexico and Is Expected to Become a Hurricane
- On Sunday morning, a new tropical storm named Barbara developed near Mexico’s southwestern coastline and was intensifying with winds reaching 60 mph approximately 170 miles southwest of Zihuatanejo, Guerrero.
- The National Hurricane Center indicated that Barbara is likely to strengthen into a hurricane by Sunday evening as it continues traveling in a west-northwest direction for the next two days before shifting its course westward into the Pacific Ocean by Tuesday.
- Forecasters expect rainfall amounts ranging from 2 to 4 inches across several southwestern Mexican states, including Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco, with some localized areas potentially receiving up to 6 inches, which could result in flooding and mudslide risks through Monday.
- Barbara was moving west-northwest at 12 mph, generating swells that could produce life-threatening surf and rip currents along the southwestern Mexico coast for several days.
- Tropical Storm Barbara's strengthening and forecasted hurricane status suggest ongoing monitoring is necessary, while no coastal watches have been issued due to its expected offshore path.
