At the beginning of the week, very intense rains are expected to continue in much of the country, especially in Jalisco and Michoacán, where they could be torrential. These conditions are due to the interaction of low pressure channels with divergence at height and the monsoon trough. In addition, strong to very strong winds and the possible formation of whirlwinds are expected in areas of Sonora, Chihuahua and Tamaulipas.

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours indicates the presence of a low pressure center with cyclonic potential that will move towards the coast of Tamaulipas, causing intense to very intense rains in the northeast, east, south and southeast of the country, including the Yucatan Peninsula. Strong to very strong wind conditions and the formation of waterspouts are expected on the coasts of Tamaulipas and Veracruz (north).

In addition, a low pressure channel over northern, western and central Mexico, in interaction with divergence in height and humidity coming from both coasts, will result in heavy to very heavy rains in these regions, as well as in the northwest and the Valley of Mexico. Heavy rains are expected in states such as Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima and Michoacán, accompanied by strong to very strong winds in the northwest, the Mesa del Norte and the Mesa Central.

The expected effects of these weather systems include heavy rains in several regions of the country, winds with significant gusts and high wave conditions on the aforementioned coasts. It is important to be alert to possible electrical discharges, wind gusts and hail, as well as the possibility of flooding in vulnerable areas due to the increase in the levels of rivers and streams.
