Tropical Storm Fernand made landfall near Veracruz, Mexico, shortly before midnight. It is poised to bring four to eight inches of rain to places like Veracruz and Hidalgo, but the National Hurricane Center says a foot of rain in some isolated areas isn't out of the question. Life-threatening flash floods and mudslides are the biggest concerns with this storm.
