 Gert continued to move northwest after becoming a tropical storm , and reached a peak intensity of 45 mph ( 70 km / h ) and a minimum central pressure of 1005 mbar ( 29 @.@ 68 inHg ) . Gert made landfall just 6 miles ( 10 km ) to the southeast of Pánuco , still at peak intensity , at 10 : 00 p.m. CDT ( 0000 July 25 , UTC ) . However , due to its interaction with land , the storm quickly weakened back to a tropical depression strength early on July 25 , and became a remnant low twelve hours after that . Six hours later , just a day after it made landfall , it dissipated over the mountains of central Mexico .
