Tropical Depression Nine Makes Landfall In Mexico

Tropical Depression Nine is a weak tropical disturbance currently located about 90 miles WSW of Campeche, Mexico. The disturbance is moving ESE at 5mph and is expected to make landfall along the Yucatan Peninsula this evening.

Earlier today, we saw convection around the storm increase and it was thought that the storm may briefly strengthen into a tropical storm before making landfall. Fortunately, the convection has died down and maximum sustained winds remain at 35mph with a minimum low pressure of 1003mb. Tropical storm warnings along the Mexican coastline have now been downgraded to tropical storm watches.
