Hurricane Carlotta nears resorts on Mexican coast

This NOAA satellite image taken Friday, June 15, 2012 at 1:45 PM EDT shows dense cloud cover over the northwestern basin as circulation from a remnant tropical wave sirs up scattered showers and thunderstorms in the region. Similar activity forms in the southwestern basin as an area of low pressure becomes embedded in the monsoon trough that extends from Colombia to portions of western Panama and Costa Rica. Meanwhile, a few weak isolated showers are embedded in moderate to fresh easterly trade winds. (AP PHOTO/WEATHER UNDERGROUND)Carlotta grew into a powerful Category 2 hurricane on Friday as it neared Mexico's southern Pacific coast, where it is expected to brush the resort town of Puerto Escondido and then lash Acapulco.
