Just in: Agatha is now a hurricane and is set to make landfall Monday at Mexico's southern coast.
– Hurricane Agatha, the first hurricane of the season, formed off Mexico’s southern Pacific coast Sunday and was heading quickly for land.On Sunday morning, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said the center of Agatha was located about 200 miles west-southwest of Puerto Angel, with winds of 75 mph .The civil defense office in Oaxaca said the hurricane’s outer bands were already hitting the coast.
Because the storm’s current path would carry it over the narrow waist of Mexico’s isthmus, the center said there was a chance the storm’s remnants could reemerge over the Gulf of Mexico. In northern Guatemala, a woman and her six children died Saturday when a landslide engulfed their home, but the accident did not appear to be related to Agatha.
