AccuWeather meteorologists have rated Agatha a 3 on the AccuWeather RealImpact™ Scale for Hurricanes in Mexico as a result of the storm’s damaging winds and significant flooding threat.

Winds within the center of the storm had reached 75 mph Category 1 hurricane strength at 7 a.m. CDT Sunday, a little over 24 hours after Tropical Storm Agatha formed.
