Miami, United States:
Tropical Storm Javier formed in the eastern Pacific on Sunday and was expected to bring heavy rains and high winds to southwestern Mexico, US weather forecasters said.
It comes after heavy rains from Tropical Storm Earl battered eastern Mexico, triggering landslides that left at least seven dead.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said Javier was about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.
"On the forecast track, the center of the tropical cyclone should pass near or over the southwest coast of Mexico later today, and approach the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula on Monday," the center said.
The storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour with higher gusts and was expected to dump four to six inches of rain in western Mexico, it said.
The latest mudslide occurred in the town of Huauchinango, where at least 13 houses were buried under rubble, the Puebla state government said Sunday.
It said in a statement that at least one person was killed. A state official told AFP up to 10 more people may be missing.
A landslide in the state of Veracruz left another six people dead on Saturday.
A second tropical storm, Ivette, also was swirling in the eastern Pacific, but it was far from land and expected to weaken later in the day, according to the NHC.
