MEXICO CITY—Hurricane Pamela was set to dissipate on Wednesday night after knocking down trees, damaging businesses, and flooding streets in the western Mexican state of Sinaloa, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) and Mexican officials said.

Mexico’s National Guard police said officers helped some people trapped in their homes by flooding, and were working to clear debris, and dozens of fallen trees in the beach resort of Mazatlan. Some shops and restaurants in the area were damaged, the National Guard added in a statement.
