Severe Flooding Inundates Large parts of Latin America
Extreme Raine Events have flooded large areas of Chile, Guatemala and Mexico since Tuesday, causing significant damage to homes, vehicles and public infrastructure.
Meantime, Tropical Storm BORIS formed off Mexico’s Pacific Coast, forcing evacuations in mountain and seaside communities prone to flooding and mudslides.
Earlier today, the US National Hurricane Center in Miami said:
Thunderstorm activity has increased slightly near the center of a stationary low pressure system located over the southern Bay of Campeche. Unfavorable upper-level winds are forecast to subside somewhat during the next day or so, and gradual development of this disturbance could occur later today [Friday] before environmental conditions become hostile again on Saturday. […] Regardless of development, this disturbance will continue to produce extremely heavy rains, along with life-threatening flash floods and [mudslides,] over portions of southeastern Mexico during the next few days.
- Formation chance through 48 hours, medium, 50 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days, medium, 50 percent.
