אסונות · Hurricane TrudyMexico Ends Trudy’s Coastal Warnings, but Dangerous Surf Persistsנכתב 18 באוקטובר 2026 בשעה 22:35 UTCצפייהתמליל0:07Mexico lifts every coastal warning while Hurricane Trudy keeps blowing at 100 miles0:12an hour.0:12Dangerous surf and rip currents threaten the Pacific shoreline for another two to0:16three days.0:17Port and beach restrictions have already disrupted shipping and recreation.0:21The immediate question is how much danger remains as the hurricane moves away.0:24Trudy's center is about 180 miles west-northwest of Manzanilo and 105 miles0:30southwest of Cabo Corrientes.0:32The Category 2 hurricane remains offshore.0:34Its center hasn't made landfall and the latest forecast takes it farther away from0:38mainland Mexico.0:39Trudy's sustained winds have held at 100 miles an hour through Sunday's position0:43updates.0:44Earlier, its center was about 100 miles southwest of Manzanilo, then 165 miles west.0:49The latest fix puts it farther offshore.0:52The storm strengthened to Category 2 on October 17th.0:55Sunday afternoon's reading continues that intensity, with rapid weakening expected0:59to begin overnight.1:00Mexico has ended warnings for its coastline and the Islas Marias.1:04That replaces the earlier hurricane warning from Manzanilo North to Cabo Corrientes.1:09Local authorities still control beach access and navigation restrictions through1:13decisions separate from the coastal hurricane warnings.1:16Hurricane force winds reach up to 30 miles from Trudy's center, compared with 351:20miles earlier.1:21Tropical storm force winds extend as far as 90 miles.1:25The center is moving northwest at 6 miles an hour, down from 10.1:28Central pressure is 974 millibars, down from 976.1:33Forecast gusts reach 105 knots, above the sustained wind speed of 85 knots.1:38Manzanilo's port was closed to all navigation, and October 17 updates continued to1:43describe the closure.1:44Authorities also restricted beach access in Manzanilo, Tecaman, and Armoria,1:48suspending recreational activities.1:50Those orders affected people working on the water as well as beachgoers.1:54Kolima prepared six temporary shelters to receive people.1:57The preparations were already in place on October 17th, as authorities kept the port2:01and beaches closed.2:02For coastal communities, the hurricane's retreat changes the weather outlook, while2:06local restrictions determine when fishing, shipping, and recreation can resume.2:10Rain also remains a threat beyond the immediate shoreline.2:13Earlier forecasts called for 4 to 8 inches across Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco,2:18locally about twelve.2:19The latest forecast calls for one to four additional inches along and near Jalisco's2:24coast through Sunday night.2:25These forecasts cover different areas and periods.2:28Flooding, fallen trees and stranded vehicles have already disrupted Colima.2:32Those effects were reported across the group of communities comprising Colima City,2:36Villa de Alvarez and Manzanilo by Sunday morning.2:39Heavy rain and gusty winds affected parts of southwestern and west central Mexico.2:43The additional rain could bring localized flash flooding and mudslides, especially2:47on steep terrain.2:48National civil protection officials reported no deaths or injuries through midday2:52October 18 in Guerrero, Michoacán, Jalisco, and Colima.2:56That preliminary assessment covers those four states and that reporting window.3:01The flooding and other disruption in Colima had already been reported.3:04Dangerous water can outlast the hurricane's closest approach.3:08Gusts reaching tropical storm strength were still possible along parts of west3:12central Mexico's coast and the Islas Marias during Sunday afternoon and evening.3:16Storm surge flooding was expected to subside during the afternoon and night.3:20Large swells, however, were forecast to keep reaching the coast well beyond that3:24period.3:24Trudy's swells are expected to affect southwestern and west-central Mexico for3:28another two to three days.3:30They can produce life-threatening surf and rip currents.3:33The center's movement offshore still leaves people along the shoreline exposed to3:37dangerous conditions in the sea.3:38Four-meter seas extended far beyond the hurricane's strongest winds, reaching 1503:43nautical miles from the center in the northwest quadrant.3:46An earlier warning described waves potentially reaching six meters.3:50That was a forecast hazard offshore.3:52The storm's next major change should be a sharp loss of strength, with the latest3:56forecast setting out a step-by-step decline.3:58Trudy's observed winds are 100 miles an hour.4:01Monday's forecast drops them to 90, then 75.4:04Tuesday brings 60, then 45, below hurricane strength.4:08Wednesday's forecast falls to 35, then 25.4:12Every value after the starting point is a forecast.4:14Trudy's projected route passes south of Baja California, Sur on Monday and Tuesday.4:18Forecasters expect a remnant low by early Wednesday, October 21st, and dissipation4:23by October 22.4:24Both could happen sooner.4:26Overnight rain and the continuing swells remain immediate coastal hazards.4:29Local authorities haven't announced when Manzanilo's port and the affected beaches4:33can reopen.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗סיקור קשוררקע·12
