Trudy weakened from a category 2 hurricane to a tropical storm by Monday morning, allowing coastal warnings in Mexico to be lifted. The system stayed about 100 miles southwest of the coast, keeping the most severe conditions offshore.
The US National Hurricane Center had issued hurricane warnings for coastal areas of Jalisco, Michoacán and Colima, with sustained winds of 60–90mph forecast for Sunday. Expected rainfall of 100–150mm raised concerns about flooding and landslides.
Warnings also highlighted the threat of dangerous storm surge and damaging waves along parts of southwestern Mexico exposed to onshore winds. Trudy was the Pacific’s 22nd named system amid continued activity, contrasting with a quiet Atlantic hurricane season.
Separately, flooding in Greece killed one person.
