According to media source,By 6:00 p.m. local time (0000 GMT on Wednesday) Otis was about 85 miles south-southeast of Acapulco and would continue strengthening before making landfall, the Miami-based NHC added.

Hurricane conditions were expected within 12-24 hours for the stretch of coastline between the beach towns of Zihuatanejo and Punta Maldonado in the state of Guerrero, which is home to Acapulco, the NHC said.

According to media source,The storm could bring up to 15 inches (38 cm) of rain in parts of Guerrero and neighboring Oaxaca state, possibly causing flash flooding and mudslides, a “life-threatening” storm surge, and surf and rip current conditions, the center added.

As per media reports,Schools across Guerrero canceled classes for Wednesday ahead of Otis’ arrival, Governor Evelyn Salgado said on social media.
