Katia is moving toward the southwest near 8 mph (13 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue until dissipation today. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (70 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued rapid weakening is forecast. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 65 miles (100 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- STORM SURGE: Some inundation along the coast due to storm surge will remain possible this morning. Water levels along the coast should begin to decrease as the storm moves inland and winds subside. RAINFALL: Katia is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 15 inches over northern Veracruz, eastern Hidalgo, and Puebla. Katia is also expected to produce total rain accumulations of 2 to 5 inches over southern Tamaulipas, eastern San Luis Potosi, western Hidalgo, eastern Queretaro, and southern Veracruz through Saturday evening. Isolated maximum amounts of 25 inches are possible in northern Veracruz, eastern Hidalgo, Puebla, and San Luis Potosi. This rainfall will likely cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue within the tropical storm warning areas. SURF: Swells generated by Katia will continue to affect portions of the coast of southeastern Mexico during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
