The path of Hurricane Presilla and its expectations

The hurricane center said that on its expected path, the Presilla Center was expected to remain in the southwestern coast of Mexican and travel parallel to the Earth during the first part of the week.

As of the NHC update at 2 pm on Sunday, the storm was located about 290 miles southwest of Capo Corinths, near the town of the resort Porto Valreta, and about 485 miles southeast of the southeast of Baja California.

He was a northwest traveling at 6 miles per hour with the maximum sustainable wind of 75 miles per hour.

Although he was not expected to touch the lands directly, the Hurricane Center said that the circumstances of the tropical storm, including strong winds, were possible in areas under the surveillance of the tropical storm on Sunday and Monday.

Heavy rains, and perhaps sudden floods were also expected, through parts of southwest Mexico until Monday.

The Hurricane Center said: “Through the coastal parts of Michoanan and the Aqsa West, the quantities of rain are expected to be from 4 to 6 inches, with local quantities of up to 8 inches.” “Culima, west of Gallisco, and the rest of Guerrero along the coast, are expected from 2 to 4 inches of rain. This rain will lead to a risk of flashing flooding, especially in the upper terrain areas.”

The Hurricane Center said that Priscilla could also generate possible life -threatening browsing conditions and rupture currents in coastal areas in southwestern Mexico and the Paja California island. Some areas have already started to feel these traces on Sunday, but the predictors have warned that they might become more prevalent by Monday.
