The disturbance will continue to produce heavy rain across portions of southern Mexico through Saturday night which may lead to flash flooding and mudslides, NHC https://twitter.com/NHC_Atlantic/status/1436851645158023169?s=20 said. By late Sunday, heavy rain is expected to reach portions of the Texas and Louisiana coasts with a heavy rain threat, it added.
