By Tuesday, Lidia will spread heavy rain and gusty winds across parts of western Mexico.
AccuWeather meteorologists increased the chance for tropical development in the Gulf this week. Get the details.
Lidia is expected to follow a general northeastward track into midweek as it takes a straight route for the west coast of Mexico. Forecasters say that landfall is expected to occur Tuesday evening, PDT, between the Jalisco and Sinaloa states of Mexico. Winds from Lidia are expected to persist across the region through Wednesday, PDT, and can be strong enough to cause minor tree damage and localized power outages.As Lidia approaches western Mexico, a wide swath of 1-2 inches of rain can spread across a similar region as the wind field and cover the states of Durango, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Zacatecas and Jalisco.
"When tropical systems interact with orographic features, the mountains can have a similar effect of squeezing water out of a sponge. As a result, flooding issues can be enhanced," explained AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex DaSilva.
