Beatriz dissipates after brushing Mexico’s Pacific coast as a hurricane, while Adrian also weakens

MEXICO CITY — Tropical Storm Beatriz dissipated Saturday after brushing Mexico’s southwestern Pacific coast as a hurricane, dumping heavy rain across coastal areas.

Hurricane Adrian, meanwhile, weakened into a tropical storm out in the Pacific while continuing to move farther out into the ocean far away from land.

Beatriz weakened into a tropical storm after swirling out over open waters and had been forecast to keep up its strength as it passed just to the southwest of the Islas Marias during Saturday night. But the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Beatriz dissipated west of Cabo Corrientes at midday.
