Two major weather systems are currently affecting Mexico's southern Pacific coast and the Caribbean with heavy rain, high winds, and potential flooding.
Tropical Storm John, which rapidly intensified into a Category 3 hurricane, made landfall near Punta Maldonado in Mexico, bringing life-threatening flood potential. Although it weakened back to a tropical storm, the slow pace of the storm coupled with heavy rains poses a risk of catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides.
