Two Major Weather Systems Bringing Rain/High Winds

(AP) – Two major weather systems are bringing heavy rain, high winds and more to Mexico’s southern Pacific coast on one side and the Caribbean on the other. Tropical Storm John struck Mexico late Monday night as a Category 3 hurricane before weakening back to tropical storm status early Tuesday. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Helene formed in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday after bringing heavy rains and big waves to the Cayman Islands. Forecasters warn the storm could strengthen into a major hurricane en route to the southeast U.S. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency in dozens of counties ahead of the storm’s arrival.
