Fresh storms dump more rain on Mexico's Pacific coast, slammed by Hurricane John
MEXICO CITY, Oct 2 (Reuters) -More downpours are set to drop rain on Mexico's Pacific coast on Wednesday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center, after the area was already soaked by the deadly Hurricane John last week.
The storm system, which is forecast to become a tropical storm before it reaches land, could bring flooding and mudslides to the coast from the Mexican state of Guerrero all the way to western Guatemala, the NHC said.
The tropical depression, currently named Eleven-E, is inching its way southwest, but should turn northwest by Wednesday evening, the Miami-based forecaster said.
The center of the storm is expected to reach the coast by Thursday night.
Through Friday, the storm is seen dumping between four to eight inches (10 to 20 cm) of rainfall in the area, with some spots hit with up to 12 inches of rain, according to NHC.
Last week, Hurricane John dumped massive amounts of rain over some of the same areas, causing mudslides and at least 22 deaths.
President Claudia Sheinbaum, who entered office on Tuesday, is set to visit resort town Acapulco later this week to oversee recovery efforts.
"Let's not lower our guard," Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado said on X. "Rainy season is still not over."
