Carlotta, a category 2 hurricane yesterday, has hit the Pacific coast of Mexico below Acapulco and has been downgraded to a tropical storm this morning as it moves inland.
Local weathercasters in Houston are saying that, once the remnants of Carlotta cross Mexico and enter the gulf, there is a good chance of re-intensification. Carlotta might possibly become a hurricane again – changing names (and possibly gender) since Atlantic storms use a different naming system. They say it could threaten the Houston area by the middle of next week.
We could use the rain, but not the winds. It probably won’t happen, anyway; computer models from other sources such as Weather Underground have the storm turning northwest and tracking up Mexico’s west coast.
