The National Hurricane Center in Miami reported that the storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour (75 kilometers per hour). At the time of the report, Cristina was positioned 105 miles (170 kilometers) west-northwest of Managua, Nicaragua, and approximately 125 miles (200 kilometers) southeast of San Salvador, El Salvador. Meteorological officials issued a tropical storm warning for the region stretching from Puerto Sandino to the Guatemala/El Salvador border. The warning indicated that Cristina was expected to bring significant rainfall, with forecasts predicting 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) of precipitation across coastal areas of Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. In some regions, the storm could deliver up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain, raising concerns about potential flooding and landslides. Cristina marked the second tropical storm to form in the Eastern Pacific Ocean this week. Earlier on Monday, Tropical Storm Boris was already active off the coast of Mexico, with predictions that it would make landfall in the country on Tuesday. The simultaneous presence of two storms in the region highlights the active weather patterns in the Pacific, which have been influenced by seasonal climate conditions and ocean temperatures. Forecasters emphasized the need for vigilance as both storms could impact multiple countries.#national_hurricane_center #tropical_storm_cristina #managua_nicaragua #san_salvador_el_salvador #central_american_coastlines https://www.wral.com/news/ap/6dcc3-tropical-storm-cristina-forms-off-coast-of-nicaragua-forecasters-say/
Tropical Storm Cristina Brings Flooding Rain to Central America Tropical Storm Cristina is currently moving off the coast of Nicaragua, with forecasts indicating it will bring several days of heavy rainfall to Central America. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Boris has moved inland, delivering significant flooding to southern Mexico before dissipating. Both storms are part of increased tropical activity in the Eastern Pacific, which has led to heightened concerns for coastal regions. Cristina, which strengthened from Tropical Depression Three-E, was named Monday afternoon approximately 90 miles west-southwest of Managua, Nicaragua, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The storm currently has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and is moving northeast at 3 mph. It is positioned about 100 miles west-northwest of Managua and is expected to meander along the Central American coast through the week before gradually turning northwestward. The NHC predicts Cristina will weaken by midweek, but its remnants are anticipated to bring heavy rain and life-threatening flash flooding to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala through midweek. Nicaragua and El Salvador have issued Tropical Storm Warnings as a result of the expected rainfall. Forecasters anticipate widespread rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches, with localized amounts potentially reaching 12 inches. These conditions could lead to significant disruptions, including river overflows, landslides, and infrastructure damage in vulnerable areas. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Boris, which formed in the Eastern Pacific early Monday with winds of 40 mph, dissipated Tuesday morning over southern Mexico.#nicaragua #national_hurricane_center #tropical_storm_cristina #tropical_storm_boris #central_america
