Hurricane Bud has become the second major hurricane in just over three days in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and will bring at least more peripheral impacts to parts of Mexico’s Pacific coast than its predecessor last week, Aletta. Bud’s center is currently just over 200 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, moving northwest. Infrared satellite imagery shows some outer rainbands wrapping toward
the southwest coast of Mexico, particularly Jalisco and Colima states. These outer rainbands will continue to push ashore at times through midweek. Bud is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches, with isolated totals up to 10 inches, through Tuesday afternoon over portions of southwestern Mexico. This heavy rain could cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides in high-terrain areas. READ MORE
