WORLD NEWS/ TD MATTHEW DISSIPATES OVER MEXICO

Tropical Depression Matthew dissipated this afternoon over the high mountains of Mexico this afternoon, in the same region where Hurricane Karl came ashore. Matthew's remains will dump very heavy rains over a region that is already oversaturated, and flash flooding and mudslide will be a concern over this region of Mexico for the next 2 days. Guatemala was for the most part spared. Matthew did dump some heavy rain of up to 6 inches over the country, but the storm unexpectedly moved well beyond the country, and heavy rains have avoided both Guatemala and Belize today. Venezuela was not so lucky, and heavy rains from Matthew are being blamed for the deaths of 7 people in Caracas. Matthew is not expected to regenerate. Meanwhile, far out in the Atlantic, Tropical Depression Lisa is being torn apart by wind shear, and will likely not exist by tomorrow morning. Lisa surprised forecasters yesterday when she briefly intenstified into a Hurricane, but then quickly began to weaken again. Forecasters are also keeping their eyes on the Western Caribbean as conditions are ripe for development of Tropical systems. Any storms that do develop could affect Cuba, South Florida and the Bahamas. Hurricane Hunters are on call for any development.
