UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologists
After making landfall as a major Category 4 Hurricane yesterday, Lidia has weakened dramatically over west-central Mexico this morning. The Remnants of Lidia will continue to bring detrimental rainfall and flooding to central Mexico today before threatening the Gulf Coast later this afternoon and evening. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Sean begins to make waves across the Atlantic Basin.
As of 4 a.m. CDT (5 a.m. EDT), The Remnants of Lidia were located near 22.5N and 102.5W, or about 145 miles north-northeast of Guadalajara, Mexico. Top sustained winds of 35 mph were recorded within the remnants of this storm. The system continues to blitz northeastward at 23 mph, wtih a minimum central pressure of 1003 mb, or 29.62 inches of mercury.
Lidia made landfall Tuesday night near Las Penitas, Mexico, in Jalisco state packing top sustained winds of 140 mph with higher gusts. This made Lidia a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale at the time of landfall. The storm quickly dissolved into a remnant system this morning over central Mexico. The remaining disorganized thunderstorms will likely travel through the Gulf of Mexico today and bring heavy rain to Florida north of Interstate 4 to much of Georgia and southwestern South Carolina by this evening into Thursday. Two to 4 inches will be common, with locally up to 6 inches possible. This could lead to urban and flash flooding, especially in areas of poor drainage.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Sean formed this morning just west of Africa coastline. As of 5 a.m. AST (5 a.m. EDT), Tropical Storm Sean was located near 10.3N and 33.1W, or about 725 miles west-southwest of Cabo Verde Islands. The system had top sustained winds of 40 mph while moving west-northwest at 13 mph. It has a minimum central pressure of 1006 mb, or 29.71 inches of mercury.
This system is expected to do some intensifying over the next few days but it is expected to remain over the open waters of the Atlantic before fizzling out this weekend. Sean is the nineteenth name storm of the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane season.
