Consequently, very heavy rainfall is forecast for southern Jalisco, Colima, the coast of Michoacán, southeastern and eastern Guerrero, and western Oaxaca. Additionally, strong rainfall is expected in southwestern Puebla, the State of Mexico, western and southwestern Mexico City, and Morelos.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Cristina is not currently impacting Mexican coastlines.
