Accrdung to meteorologists on Weatherunrground’s blog:
After growing extraordinarily quickly to Category 5 strength, and striking the Mexican coast less than a day later,Tropical Depression Patricia is rapidly dissipating–leading to one of the most abbreviated life cycles on record for any Category 5 tropical cyclone. At 11 am EDT Wednesday, Patricia was a minimal tropical storm, with 40 mph winds. A mere 36 hours later, Patricia packed winds of 160 mph, eventually reaching 200 mph–the highest reliably measured surface winds in any tropical cyclone on Earth. After 36 more hours (at 11 am EDT Saturday) Patricia’s sustained winds were back down to 35 mph. As with all tropical cyclones, Patricia’s landfall was its downfall: the hurricane slammed into rugged coastal terrain while accelerating northeastward, which quickly shredded its low-level circulation. At 11 am EDT Saturday, Patricia’s low-level center was located in central Mexico, about 100 miles northeast of Zacatecas. Unimpeded by the mountainous terrain, Patricia’s upper-level circulation is racing more quickly to the northeast, on its way to help generate a large area of torrential rain tonight across southern Texas.
The National Weather Service is also warning about rip currents. Patricia isn’t dead yet; she’s still dangerous and will create dangerous floods in the lower Mississippi Valley, and rain, winds and rip tides in a large part of the country
