Tropical Storm Hanna weakened overnight after making landfall Saturday evening as a Category 1 Hurricane, but continued its march through southern Texas and into Mexico, leaving rain, flooding and reports of damage in its wake.
The National Hurricane Center said in its 7 a.m. CDT advisory that Hanna’s eye was located along the Texas-Mexico border, 55 miles west of McAllen, Texas. The storm was moving west-southwest at nine miles per hour. That trajectory is expected to continue into Monday. Maximum sustained winds of around 50 miles per hour were being reported, with stronger gusts occasionally lashing the region.
„Rapid weakening is expected as the center of Hanna moves farther inland, and the cyclone is expected to weaken to a tropical depression later today and dissipate Monday or Monday night,“ the National Hurricane Center said Sunday morning.
