Hurricane Enrique Sweeping Past

Mexico’s Southwest Coast
By Tribune Travel Last updated Jul 6, 2021

The first hurricane of the eastern Pacific season swept close to Mexico’s
southwestern coast Sunday, and forecasters warned of the danger of potentially
dangerous flash floods and mudslides as strong winds and heavy rains hit coastal
areas.

The first hurricane of the eastern Pacific season brushed past the coastal shoulder of
southwestern Mexico, keeping just off shore while sweeping the coast with heavy
rains and winds that raised the threat of flash floods and mudslides.

Hurricane Enrique, which formed Saturday, had maximum sustained winds around
90 mph (150 kph) late Sunday as it stayed out at sea, the U.S. National Hurricane
Center said. As of Monday morning, it remained a Category 1 Hurricane in the Saffir-
Simpson scale.

The center said “little change in strength” was expected during Sunday night. ‘’Enrique
is then expected to begin weakening today and continue to weaken through early this
week’’ as it keeps farther from the coast, it said.

Enrique was on a path that could take it to the southern end of Mexico’s Baja
California peninsula as a tropical storm by midweek.

The storm’s core was about 60 miles (95 kilometers) south-southwest of Cabo
Corrientes — the bulge on the coast south of Puerto Vallarta — and moving north at
8 mph (13 kph).

Enrique’s maximum sustained winds were holding around 90 mph (150 kph) late
Sunday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

The hurricane center said Enrique could drop 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) of
rain, with isolated maximums of 18 inches (45 centimeters), over Colima state and
coastal sections of the states of Jalisco, Michoacan and northern Guerrero.

A hurricane warning was in effect from Playa Perula to Cabo Corrientes. A tropical
storm warning was posted from Punta San Telmo to Playa Perula and from Cabo
Corrientes to Punta de Mita.

Mexico’s Defense Department has said troops were being deployed to aid civilians in
advance of the storm.

The port of Puerto Vallarta is closed to navegation and the beaches are closed.

Los Cabos port is still open but monitoring the course of Enrique very closely.
