This satellite image provided by NOAA on Monday, Oct. 30, 2023, shows Tropical Storm Pilar approaching El Salvador on the Pacific coast of Central America. – Tropical Storm Pilar threatened to bring heavy rain and flash flooding to El Salvador and other parts of Central America as it sat just off the Pacific coast Monday.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Pilar was located about 225 miles southwest of San Salvador with winds of 50 mph and was moving east-northeast at 6 mph . The storm was expected to maintain that general track for the next day or two, stall for a day or more just off the coast and then abruptly turn around and head back out to sea without making landfall, the center said.
The storm was forecast to dump five to 10 inches of rain from El Salvador to Costa Rica with as much as 15 inches in some areas. El Salvador’s government put the country on alert Sunday and Congress declared a national emergency, which allows civil defense authorities to force evacuations for people who are at risk.Farther up the Pacific coast Mexican authorities continued recovery efforts after Category 5 Hurricane Otis slammed into Acapulco last weekCopyright 2023 The Associated Press.
