ZCZC MIATCDEP5 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM TROPICAL STORM TRUDY DISCUSSION NUMBER 4 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP202014 800 AM PDT SAT OCT 18 2014 Radar from Acapulco Mexico and microwave data show that the center of Trudy crossed the coast about 60 n mi east of Acapulco around 1000 UTC this morning. Since that time, surface observations and satellite images indicate that the circulation is becoming disrupted by the high terrain. However, it is estimated that winds of 40 kt are still occuring near the coast associated with the southern portion of the circulation. Trudy has been moving northward or 360 degrees at 4 kt. The steering currents are very weak and track guidance shows little motion during the next 24 hours or so. On this basis, the NHC forecast calls for little motion. Since Trudy is already inland over high terrain, additional weakening is anticipated, and the cyclone is forecast to be a remnant low by Sunday or even sooner. Given that Trudy or its remnants are forecast to move little, torrential rains are expected to continue during the next couple of days, resulting in flash flooding and mud slides in portions of southern Mexico, especially near areas of elevated terrain.
