00:00As Boris fades, Christina is ramping up with its flooding impacts across Central America and eventually southern parts of Mexico.
00:08Boris has been a significant flood producer in some parts of southern Mexico.
00:13Boris was a tropical storm, then a tropical rainstorm.
00:16At this point, it's losing its identity.

00:38But Christina is on a different trajectory, moving into El Salvador and then parts of southern Guatemala with flooding rain
00:45through the rest of this week.

00:49But our AccuWeather local storm acts up to 24 inches with this storm.
00:54There will be some wind, some storm surge, more modest there, one to three feet.

01:08parts of Mexico as well.
01:09We're looking at significant flooding in some areas, localized flooding for many, and damage from wind and coastal inundation.
01:15And that's something that gateway's due to the Giving.
