The Buzz | Tropical Storm Xavier brushes Mexican coast with wind, rain
Tropical Storm Xavier is bringing heavy rains and gusty winds to Mexico’s central Pacific coast, though it’s expected to head out to sea and avoid a direct hit on land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says the storm was centered about 170 kilometers west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, on Monday morning and was headed northwest at 6 kph. Tropical-storm-force winds extended as far as 185 kilometers from the center.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 95 kph, but is expected to start to weaken.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 kilometers.
Forecasters say it’s likely to bring 1 to 3 inches of rain to parts of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco states.
