Salvadoran authorities said that more than 1,000 people were evacuated.
Authorities in both El Salvador and Guatemala also cancelled classes on Monday.
The US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) warned of life-threatening surf and rip conditions along the coasts of El Salvador and Guatemala, while heavy rain could still cause flash flooding.
