WATCHES AND WARNINGS

THERE ARE NO COASTAL WATCHES OR WARNINGS IN EFFECT.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL...BARBARA IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO...
BRINGING STORM TOTALS IN EXCESS OF 25 INCHES.  THESE RAINS COULD
CAUSE LIFE THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.

10 AM Eastern 28 May 2013

While NOAA's East Pacific prediction is for a less active season, the second named storm appears to be imminent. There is currently a 90% chance that the low pressure system, which is producing thunderstorms about 190 miles south of Salina Cruz, Mexico, will become a tropical depression or tropical storm today.

REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...

HEAVY RAINS ARE LIKELY OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN MEXICO AND WESTERN CENTRAL 
AMERICA THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS DUE TO THE PERSISTENTLY STRONG 
ONSHORE FLOW MEETING THE ELEVATED TERRAIN. THESE RAINS COULD 
PRODUCE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.
