 MEXICO CITY (AP) - The second named storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane season regained tropical storm force Friday and was expected to make landfall on Saturday near the Mexico-Guatemala border.
A tropical storm watch was in force from Sipacate, Guatemala, to Barra de Tonala, Mexico, and the U.S. Hurricane Center in Miami warned that Barbara was gaining strength and could unleash life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
The storm was forecast to dump up to 10 inches of rain over portions of southeastern Mexico and Guatemala, and up to 20 inches in parts.
