A Hard Rains Gonna Fall - Georgette Nears Mexico

 A Tropical Depression (or cyclone) named 'Georgette' is expected to hit Mexico sometime this evening as reported by the National Hurricane Center.  As of 11 o'clock this morning, Georgette was about 40 miles south of Mexico, heading northwest.  The storm is believed to have sustained winds of 35 miles per hour and is expected to drop 6 inches of rain in parts of Mexico.  A tropical storm watch has been issued by the Mexican government for the coast of mainland Mexico.  Though Georgette is expected to weaken as it hits land, the southern United States (Arizona) is likely to be affected within the next few days.
