Carlotta, the second hurricane of the Eastern Pacific season, weakened to a tropical depression over the mountains of southern Mexico after producing mudslides that killed two girls.
Carlotta, with winds of 35 miles (55 kilometers) per hour, was about 50 miles north-northeast of Acapulco, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an advisory at 11 a.m. New York time, the most recent posting. The system was moving west-northwest at 12 mph.
