Overview
- Hurricane Simón weakened to Category 1 with sustained winds near 150 km/h and remained offshore of Jalisco and Nayarit under active prevention and vigilance zones, according to Mexico’s SMN and CONAGUA.
- Mexico’s weather agency confirmed the formation of tropical depression 21‑E south of Puerto Ángel with roughly 55 km/h sustained winds and northwest motion that will boost rains in the south and southeast.
- The U.S. National Hurricane Center flagged an eastern Pacific low with about a 100% 48‑hour chance of cyclogenesis that could become Tropical Storm Trudy if it organizes into a tropical storm.
- SMN and CONAGUA say interactions between Simón, the new systems, frontal system No. 2 and low‑pressure channels will produce intense to torrential showers, damaging winds, high surf, river flooding and landslides across many Pacific and inland states.
- Forecasters warn that El Niño‑amplified Pacific moisture may be transported northward, raising the short‑term risk of heavy rain and severe storms from Texas into parts of the Great Plains and Midwest.
