Heavy rains are forecast in Guerrero (coast and north) and Oaxaca (north, center, and coast), as well as wind gusts of 60 to 80 km/h and waves of 3 to 4 meters high on the coasts of both states. Finally, low-pressure channels will develop over the interior of Mexico, combined with a cyclonic circulation at high levels over northeastern Mexico, along with the influx of moisture and atmospheric instability, will cause showers and heavy to very heavy rains, accompanied by lightning, in the north, center, and west of the country. Heavy rains are forecast in the State of Mexico (southwest), Morelos, and Chiapas (west and south).

The system’s cloud bands, combined with the moisture it generates, will cause heavy rains (75 to 150 millimeters [mm]) in Michoacán (northeast, east, and south), Guerrero (coast and north), and Oaxaca (north, center, and coast); Very strong (50 to 75 mm) in Jalisco and Colima, as well as winds of 40 to 50 km/h (25 to 31 mph) with gusts of 60 to 80 km/h (37 to 50 mph) and waves of 2.5 to 3.5 meters (8 to 11 ft) along the coasts of Guerrero and Oaxaca.
In the next 24 hours, Tropical Storm Flossie is expected to intensify, moving parallel to the coasts of Guerrero, Michoacán, and Colima, and will be closest to the coast of Mexico (Jalisco) on Tuesday.
