Pacific is expected to become a hurricane by the time it reaches
the southern coast of Mexico on Friday.
Carlotta's maximum sustained winds rose Thursday night to 65 mph. Hurricane strength is 75 mph.
A hurricane warning is in effect for Mexico's Pacific coast from
Salina Cruz to Punta Maldonado.

significant coastal flooding is expected. The Mexican states of
Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas and the southern portion of Guatemala could see up to a foot of rain.
