UPDATED! Tropical Storm Heading to Huatulco



DOWNGRADED TO 20% PROBABILITY

Click on link below and hover your cursor over the yellow circle on the map.




We have been watching Jova and Irwin progress toward the coast of Michoacan, Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit.

There is a disturbance in the Tehuantepec that has been brewing for a few days - it is currently south of Salina Cruz, and is "disorganized" so the possibility of it becoming a "tropical cyclone" has been downgraded in the last few days from 80% to 40% this morning. The forecasters say we will definitely get heavy rains from this system, but keep checking for changes.

Batten down the hatches
