Hurricane Orlene made landfall over southwestern Mexico as a Category 1 storm Monday morning. Forecasters expected the weakened hurricane to dump heavy rainfall and spread dangerous storm surge over parts of Mexico’s coast.
Orlene came ashore Monday morning at 9:45 a.m. EDT north of the border between the Mexican states of Nayarit and Sinaloa with estimated maximum winds of 85 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Widespread wind gusts could ramp up to between 80 to 100 mph, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Adam Douty told USA TODAY. The hardest-hit areas near Orlene’s center could feel gusts close to 120 mph, he said. Douty said other than isolated wind gusts around 50 miles inland, the storm’s strongest winds were likely to be confined to areas closer to Mexico’s coast as Orlene weakened.
Islas Marias and mainland Mexico could be hit with dangerous storm surge and coastal flooding, while large swells from Orlene were expected to trigger life-threatening surf and rip current conditions, hurricane center forecasters reported.delayed or canceled
