Trudy strengthens to a hurricane as system nears Mexico’s coast with major storm expected
The storm is forecast to rapidly intensify and bring 4 to 8 inches of rain, raising flooding and landslide risks in Colima and Jalisco, the NHC said.
- On Thursday, Hurricane Trudy moved parallel to Mexico's western coast as a Category 1 storm, threatening the region with strong winds and heavy rain.
- The region remains vulnerable after recent weeks of severe weather from Hurricane Rachel and Hurricane Polo, which left behind several deaths and widespread flooding in Mexico.
- Located about 480 km south-southwest of Acapulco, Trudy packs maximum sustained winds of 120 kph while traveling northwest toward the coast.
- Forecasters expect Trudy to intensify into a major hurricane on Friday, bringing 4 to 8 inches of rainfall with isolated totals around 12 inches across Colima and Jalisco.
- Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Simon remains nearly stationary farther northwest, grazing the Baja California peninsula, while officials warn of life-threatening surf and rip currents generated by Trudy through the weekend.
