Tropical Storm Lester will move towards the coast of Guerrero today and interact with a low-pressure zone that is expected to develop into Tropical Storm Madelinepossible located southwest of the coast of Jalisco. The interaction of both storms will cause intense rains in Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Oaxaca, as well as strong winds and high waves off the coast.
In turn, the circulation of the system will favor the persistent entry of moisture from the Pacific Ocean towards the center and west of the country, causing showers and heavy rains in these regions, including the Valley of Mexico. If Tropical Storm Lester maintains its trajectory and speed of movement, it could make landfall this afternoon or evening on the western coast of Guerrero.
