Tropical storm Carlos threatened the Mexican Pacific beach resort of Acapulco with heavy rains on Sunday, and is likely to become a hurricane again as it barrels toward the coast, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Bracing for high winds, strong waves and downpours, Acapulco, the biggest city in the southwestern state of Guerrero, closed its port, and school classes were suspended in the state for Monday, local government authorities said.

Shelters for people at risk from the rainfall were opened, and the advancing weather front has already knocked down trees and fences in parts of the state, authorities added.

Meanwhile on the other side of the country, a low pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico was producing showers on the coast of Guatemala, Belize, and the Yucatan peninsula, and it could become a tropical storm in the next two days, the NHC said.
