ACAPULCO, Mexico—Workers cleared hammocks and lounge chairs from beachside hotels and cafes as Tropical Storm Carlos churned up strong winds and waves Sunday and threatened to regain strength as it trudged up Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Carlos lost its brief hurricane status on Sunday as it weakened while sitting nearly stationary some 65 miles (110 kilometers) southwest of Acapulco, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, which measured top sustained winds at 65 mph (110 kph) Sunday afternoon. The former Category 1 hurricane was moving northwest at about 4 mph (7 kph), with strengthening expected into Monday.
Rain accumulations of 6 inches to 10 inches were possible in southwestern Mexico.
