Tropical Cyclone Adrian

ADRIAN STRENGTHS SLIGHTLY WHILE MOVING NORTHWESTWARD

According to the NHC advisory number 10…

Adrian is moving toward the northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue over the next few days.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional slight strengthening is expected tonight or early Friday. Weakening is forecast to begin later on Friday and continue through the weekend.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF: Swells generated by Adrian are affecting portions of the southwestern and west-central coasts of Mexico and the southern Baja California peninsula. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

On the forecast track, the center of Beatriz is expected to move very near or along the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next couple of days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast, and Beatriz is likely to become a hurricane by late Friday. Beatriz is forecast to be a hurricane while it moves near portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

RAINFALL: Through Sunday, storm total rainfall of 3 to 5 inches, with maximum amounts of 8 inches, is expected across southern Mexico from Guerrero west-northwest to Nayarit. This rainfall could lead to localized flash flooding

STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.

SURF: Swells generated by Beatriz are forecast to build and spread northward along the southwestern coast of Mexico during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
