Hurricane Orlene sped toward Mexico’s southwestern coast on Monday morning, making landfall in the Pacific state of Sinaloa as a Category 1 storm, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said. “The system should dissipate tonight or Tuesday,” the NHC said in an earlier report. The storm could dump torrential rains and cause flash flooding, along with possible landslides, according to the NHC. The Islas Marias islands off the coast could see six to 10 inches of rain, with isolated areas getting up to 14 inches. The Mexican states of Nayarit and Sinaloa may see three to six inches with local amounts of 10 inches, and Jalisco and Colima state one to three inches.
