Tropical Storm Beatriz made landfall on Mexico’s Pacific coast with the threats of more heavy rain, flash flooding and mudslides, which will continue through Friday. The center of Beatriz is located 55 miles north-northeast of Puerto Angel, Mexico, and is moving north-northeast at around 7 mph. Beatriz is forecast to move across southern Mexico toward the
Bay of Campeche Friday into Saturday. Heavy rain has already soaked parts of Mexico’s coastal Oaxaca state. Puerto Angel reported more than 9 inches of total rainfall from the tropical cyclone through Thursday. However, due to its slow movement, up to 10 inches of rain is possible in Mexico’s Oaxaca state through Friday with isolated amounts up to 18 inches possible, according to the National Hurricane Center. Heavy rain is also anticipated in the Yucatan peninsula. READ MORE
