:tornado::cloudwithlightningandrain: The latest forecast looks like Zihuatanejo is going to be where Tormenta Tropical Max makes landfall, so on Monday afternoon be prepared for some heavy winds of between 85 to 100km/h and torrential rains. Schools are closed tomorrow in the entire state of Guerrero, and the port of Zihuatanejo has been closed since 18:00 horas this Sunday. This is not going to be fun.

Our visitors did their best to try to enjoy Sunday in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa, but it seems they found themselves dodging the rain clouds that let loose several times throughout the day. This is definitely not a time when anyone should be swimming in the water along our coast, yet irresponsible municipal authorities continue refusing to locate warning signs for anything, neither crocs nor polluted water. A damn shame.

His 24' covered panga, "Oleaje", doesn't offer much luxury, but his expertise in fishing and his local knowledge of our coast and its marine life is second to none! Ramón practices "catch and release" fishing.

So far its a non event, hoping it will stay that way. Since midnight, .21 inches of rain, and the highest gust has been 14 MPH. That's on la Ropa near the dolphins. The center of Max looks like it will come shore about 1 pm.

At 09:00 Tormenta Tropical Max was located 80 km SSE of Zihuatanejo moving NNE at 7km/h. It changed its course eastward at the last minute, sparing us a direct hit in Zihuatanejo, though we should still expect torrential rains and wind gusts of 65 to 85km/h. It appears headed directly for Papanoa.

Here is the most recent update from the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.
