US EditionTropical Storm Erick Forms Near Southern Mexico, National Hurricane Center Says
- Tropical Storm Erick formed in the Eastern Pacific on Tuesday and is expected to make landfall in southern Mexico on Thursday as a Category 2 hurricane.

- Hurricane watches have been issued for a portion of Mexico’s southwest shoreline, extending from Punta Maldonado to the area around San Agustin and covering Puerto Escondido. Residents in these locations should prepare for significant rainfall, potential flooding, mudslides, and coastal storm surge hazards.
- Erick is expected to bring rainfall amounts ranging from 8 to 16 inches, with some areas experiencing as much as 20 inches. At landfall, the storm will have sustained winds close to 100 mph and a minimum central pressure near 1,005 millibars.
