Tropical Storm Marty to Approach Mexico Coast; Tropical Storm Watch Issued

September 27,2015
  • Tropical Storm Marty was located about 235 miles west-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, as of Sunday evening.
  • Marty is expected to slowly move to the north or northeast, slowly toward the southern coast of Mexico.
  • Little in the way of strengthening is expected as Marty is now in an area of increasing wind shear.
  • The center of Marty may stall and then turn west off the Mexico coast midweek while weakening. 
  • Even though the center may never make landfall, heavy rainfall is still likely early this week over portions of Guerrero and surrounding areas as Marty approaches. The rainfall could result in life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. Locally up to 12 inches is possible in mountainous areas.
  • A tropical storm watch has been issued for a portion of the Mexico coast from Acapulco to Lazaro Cardenas.
