July 1 (UPI) -- The remnants of Tropical Storm Chris dissipated over the rugged terrain of eastern Mexico on Monday morning.

The National Hurricane Center's 10 a.m. CDT update, the agency's last, said the former storm was located 60 miles south-southwest of Tuxpan.

Rainfall of up to 8 inches was still expected in portions of eastern Mexico and as much as 12 inches could fall in "higher terrain" in the states of Guanajuato, Queretaro and San Luis Potosi.

The storm made landfall late Sunday only hours after forming in the Gulf of Mexico, passing over Veracruz near Lechuguillas in eastern Mexico at about 11:50 p.m. CDT with maximum winds of about 40 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in a statement.

Life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in eastern Mexico are anticipated.

Chris was the third named storm in the Atlantic hurricane season after Beryl, which hit Grenada on Monday morning, and Alberto, which made landfall over Mexico on June 20 and lashed Texas with heavy rainfall.
