  • Intense rainfall is forecast for Jalisco with very strong totals in Colima, Michoacán and Guerrero due to the system’s cloud bands and moisture influx.

  • The SMN expects the system to cease affecting national territory during the early hours of Saturday and urges the public to heed guidance from Conagua and civil protection agencies.
