Tropical Storm Celia maintains strength off Mexico (AP)

A gorge formed after the tropical storm Agatha runs through the San Sebatian coffee farm in San Miguel Duenas June 16, 2010. Central America's coffee farmers fear more wet weather after a tropical storm could further damage their crops, potentially squeezing already tight global coffee supplies. Guatemala, the region's top coffee grower, was pounded by Tropical Storm Agatha at the end of last month, which killed about 160 people and knocked out roads and bridges. The storm followed a volcanic eruption that spewed ash on top-quality farms near the capital city. Picture taken June 16, 2010. REUTERS/Daniel LeClair (GUATEMALA - Tags: AGRICULTURE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT)AP - Tropical Storm Celia maintained strength over the Pacific Ocean off southern Mexico early Sunday as U.S. based forecasters warned the storm could become a hurricane later in the day.
