Eastern Pacific
At 1500 GMT, the governments of Guatemala and
Mexico have issued a tropical storm watch from Sipacate (Guatemala)
westward to Barra de Tonala, Mexico. A tropical storm watch means that
tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally
within 36 hours.
Tropical storm Barbara is now located at 13.3N 94.1W or 150
miles southwest of the Guatemala / Mexico border or 215 miles SSE of
Salina Cruz, Mexico. The storm is moving east at 5 mph, turning
northeast later today or tonight. Maximum sustained winds are near 45
mph with higher gusts - some strengthening is forecast over the next 24
hours. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 45 miles form
the centre. Heavy rains, with accumulated totals of 5 to 10 inches,
isolated amounts of 20 inches, associated with this system could cause
life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
