The Latest: Katia begins stalling over Mexico mountain range
Updated 4:25 am, Saturday, September 9, 2017
JUCHITAN, Mexico (AP) — The Latest on Hurricane Katia and a major earthquake in Mexico (all times local):
4:15 a.m.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says that Tropical Storm Katia is starting to stall over Mexico's Sierra Madre mountains.
Katia made landfall north of Tecolutla, Mexico late Friday as a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 75 mph (120 kph). It then was downgraded to a tropical storm and forecasters expect it to dissipate Saturday.
The hurricane center said that Katia's maximum sustained winds are now down to near 40 mph (65 kph) and that it is expected to drift east of the Sierra Madre mountains as it peters out.
