Tropical Storm Marco roared ashore on Mexico's Gulf coast with near-hurricane force winds on Tuesday, prompting a shutdown of some oil platforms and forcing the evacuation of some 3,000 people.
Once over land, Marco quickly weakened to a tropical depression and was expected to dissipate overnight as it moved over Mexico's mountainous terrain. Forecasters still warned that rains of up to 5 inches in central Mexico could unleash mudslides.
Off Mexico's Pacific coast, Norbert strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane and forcasters said it could threaten land.
