Tropical Storm Marty is set to cause some dangerous conditions for the southwest Mexican coast this week. While not forecast to make landfall, Marty will still affect the area with serious downpours, rough seas, and rip currents. Most areas will see 1-3 inches of rainfall, with some receiving as much as 6 inches, making the possibility of severe floods and mudslides a real threat. Marty is due to reach maximum strength late on Monday and possibly could reach hurricane status, but wind shear should weaken the storm by Tuesday night. As Marty makes its way up the coast, moisture will be delivered to the drought-ridden southwest United States, hopefully helping their situation.
Its crazy how quickly a storm like this could affect thousands of people and their homes.
