Méndez Girón predicted that during the afternoon and overnight hours, the storm will intensify to a category 1 hurricane and change its direction of travel towards the coasts of Baja California and Sinaloa.

In mid-August, the rains generated by Grace, which made landfall in the Gulf of Mexico, caused the death of at least 11 people, 8 in the state of Veracruz and 3 in the central state of Puebla, in addition to severe flooding and damage.

The cyclone had impacted days before in the Yucatan peninsula, where it also left floods and power failures, although without fatalities.
