Overview

  • The storm is located about 155 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo with sustained winds of 85 mph, classifying it as a Category 1 hurricane.
  • National Hurricane Center forecasters project steady to rapid strengthening through Tuesday before weakening begins by late Wednesday.
  • Rainfall totals of 2 to 6 inches are expected in Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima and Jalisco through Wednesday, raising the risk of life-threatening floods and mudslides.
  • Large swells generated by Flossie are creating dangerous surf and rip current conditions along the southwestern Mexican coast.
  • A stalled frontal boundary off the southeastern U.S. coast poses no direct threat to Florida over the next 5–7 days but could produce locally heavy rain, gusty winds and elevated rip current risk.
