Raymond has strengthened back into a hurricane for a second time, but should not threaten land again.
Raymond is starting to curve toward the northwest and may get a bit stronger yet Sunday and Sunday night. However, moving over cooler water and experiencing stronger wind shear, Raymond should weaken by Tuesday, eventually spinning down to a remnant low by mid-week. Raymond will not again threaten land as a tropical cyclone.
Earlier this week, Raymond brought heavy rainfall to the south-central Mexican coast. Acapulco, the largest city in Guerrero, reported nearly 10 inches of rain in the 72-hour period ending 7 a.m. CDT Wednesday, Oct. 23.
