Hurricane Carlotta has been upgraded to a Cat2 Storm by the National Hurricane Center. All warnings and watches have been discontinued along the Mexican coast because it isn't expected to be close enough to these areas to affect them.

Carlotta is currently 200 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. Maximum sustained winds are up to 105 mph, with higher gust. The minimum central pressure is at 974 millibars as it moves west near 12 mph. The NHC will send an Air Force Reconnaissance Aircraft over to check out the hurricane this afternoon.

There is still the possibility that the outer rainbands could cause flooding and/or mudslides.
