 Once over land , Janet considerably weakened to a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 105 mph ( 170 km / h ) . After crossing the Yucatán Peninsula with a forward speed of 21 mph ( 34 km / h ) , the hurricane emerged into the Bay of Campeche by 1600 UTC on September 28 . The weakened hurricane marginally intensified as it crossed the Bay of Campeche to a secondary peak intensity of 110 mph ( 175 km / h ) with a minimum central pressure of 950 mbar ( hPa ; 28 @.@ 06 inHg ) . Janet eventually made its final landfall 50 mi ( 80 km ) north of the city of Veracruz by 2200 UTC on September 29 as a Category 2 hurricane . After moving inland , the hurricane became quickly disorganized due to the highly mountainous terrain of Mexico , and as a result the Weather Bureau issued its last advisory on Janet . The weakening system degenerated to tropical storm strength by September 30 , and later dissipated over central Mexico by 0600 UTC that day . Janet 's remnant circulation contributed to the development of a disturbed area of weather off the western coast of Mexico that would subsequently develop into a tropical storm on October 1 .
