Mexico
Tropical Storm Simon is tracking near Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, and Michoacan and is forecast to become a major hurricane by the weekend; the U.S. National Hurricane Center has issued a hurricane watch from Manzanillo to Punta Mita, and heavy rainfall is expected to trigger life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in areas with steep terrain. Stay completely out of the water and off the beaches, do not drive through flooded roads or steep terrain, check with your airline for delays, and follow all instructions from local Mexican authorities.
Problem: Tropical Storm Simon is tracking near Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, and Michoacan and is forecast to become a major hurricane by the weekend, and the National Hurricane Center has issued a Hurricane Watch from Manzanillo to Punta Mita.
Why it matters: Heavy rainfall of 8 to 12+ inches is forecast, which can trigger life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in steep terrain and disrupt flights, roads, and tours along Mexico's west-central Pacific coast, including Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, and Sayulita.
Advice: Stay out of the water and off beaches, do not drive through flooded roads or steep terrain, check flights and tours with your provider, monitor National Hurricane Center updates, and follow instructions from Mexican civil protection authorities.
