- Marty strengthened into a hurricane Monday evening and is located about 140 miles west of Acapulco, Mexico, as of Monday night.
- Hurricane Marty is expected to slowly move to the east-northeast or north toward the southern coast of Mexico.
- The center of Marty may stall and then turn west off the Mexico coast midweek while weakening due to increased wind shear.
- Weakening is expected to begin on Tuesday due to wind shear, as well as an increase in dry air and interaction with land.
- A hurricane warning has been issued for a portion of the Mexico coast from Tecpan de Galeana to Lazaro Cardenas. A tropical storm warning is also in place from Acapulco to east of Tecpan de Galeana and a tropical storm watch is in place from west of Lazaro Cardenas to Punta San Telmo.
- Even though the center may never make landfall, heavy rainfall is still likely through Thursday over portions of Guerrero and surrounding areas as Marty approaches with 6 to 12 inches of rain possible. The rainfall could result in life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. Locally up to 20 inches of rain may occur from the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains toward the coast.
- Strong and gusty winds are possible by Tuesday in the areas under hurricane and tropical storm warnings.
- Coastal flooding is also expected and life-threatening high surf and rip currents are also expected.
- Marty is the 12th hurricane of the northeastern Pacific season, which is the most in this basin by Sept. 28 since 1992.
