Tropical Depression Beatriz Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022017
400 AM CDT Fri Jun 02 2017
It is unclear at the moment if Beatriz still has a center of
circulation. Since landfall, the deepest convection has migrated
away from the supposed center and is now oriented linearly along the
coast of Oaxaca, likely due to onshore flow impinging on the
mountain slopes of southern Mexico. For now, advisories will be
continued on Beatriz as a 30-kt depression, but it's entirely
possible that Beatriz is no longer a tropical cyclone. Visible
satellite imagery after sunrise should help provide a better
assessment.
If it hasn't done so already, Beatriz is forecast to dissipate later
today while it moves north-northeastward over the mountains of
southeastern Mexico. Even after dissipation, lingering moisture is
likely to contribute to continued heavy rainfall and possible flash
floods and mudslides for another day or two over southeastern
Mexico.
