Tropical Storm John re-forms

Tropical Storm John has re-formed off the Mexican state of Guerrero. John will continue to produce significant and life-threatening rainfall across southwestern Mexico as it approaches land.

As John continues to move toward land, the storm will continue to produce significant and life-threatening rainfall across southwestern Mexico. A wide swath of 4-8 inches of rain can fall from

southern Michoacan to southern Oaxaca. The heaviest rain will fall across southern Guerrero and southwestern Oaxaca, where up to 16 inches is expected to occur, with an AccuWeather Local

StormMax™ of 50 inches. Rainfall of this extent can cause widespread catastrophic flooding, extreme landslides and extended road closures.

As John approaches Mexico, wind gusts of 40-60 mph will spread across most of the south and western portions of the state of Guerrero. Higher wind gusts of 60-80 mph can occur near where the storm

makes landfall with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 90 mph. This wind, combined with very saturated soils, can bring down trees and power lines. There can also be some structural damage close

to the coast near where the storm makes landfall.

No other tropical development is expected over the next seven days.
