| Hurricane Stan |
| Yucatan and Southern Mexico |
|
|
| October 1 |
|
Stan blew up as TD 20, just off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.
|
| October 2 |
|
By Sunday, TD20 had grown into Tropical Storm Stan.
Tropical Storm Stan (40 mph) is pushing slowly WNW across the Yucatan Peninsula this morning. The storm is producing gusty winds and locally heavy rain; isolated totals of up to 15 inches are forecast. Stan is expected to churn into the Bay of Campeche tonight and perhaps restrengthen to a minimal hurricane before striking the Gulf Coast of Mexico sometime midweek.

Stan had sustained winds of 45 mph when it moved onshore yesterday. While
the system has lost much of its convection over land, it is expected to
reintensify over the warm waters of the Bay of Campeche. The forecast calls
for Stan to become a strong tropical storm, perhaps a hurricane, before
moving into Mexico later this week.

Hurricane Stan has made landfall along the southern Mexican Gulf Coast. Stan
swirled inland very near San Andres Tuxtla around 9 a.m. CDT. The hurricane
will weaken rapidly as it continues to push southwestward and slow in its
forward speed, but heavy rain will continue to plague southeastern Mexico
into tomorrow. Local totals of up to 15 to 20 inches are possible in the
mountainous terrain in the states of Veracruz and Puebla. The downpours
could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

Stan is about to pass over Mexico, and return to open water, only over the
pacific... technically, it will no longer be an "Atlantic Storm", although
it started there. There is a significant buildup of moisture ahead of the
the depression, so the likelihood of the storm reigniting is quite high.
|
| October 6 |
|
Partial remnants from what was once Hurricane Stan are producing heavy
rainfall along the west coast of Mexico. If this area moves over the water
of the eastern Pacific, it could develop into a tropical depression.
