Forecast

Heavy rain will continue to fall across central and western Mexico as Rick slowly moves inland. Even as the storm weakens, impacts will include strong winds, heavy surf, storm surge, and intense rainfall. Flash flooding will be a concern along with downed trees and powerlines. Rick will weaken further into Tuesday, likely losing a low level circulation and defined center. Scattered storms will still produce heavy rain. Rainfall totals of 5-10 inches are expected, with isolated totals surpassing 15 inches. This will likely produce flash flooding and mudslides. Stay tuned to WeatherNation for the latest updates on this tropical system.
