80 mph Hurricane Polo Rapidly Intensifies, 12 Inches of Rain Threaten Mexico
Hurricane Polo reached 80 mph sustained winds in the eastern Pacific and is forecast to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane while tracking along Mexico's western coast. The National Hurricane Center projects 4–8 inches of rain, with isolated totals near 12 inches, across Guerrero and Michoacán through Thursday, raising flood and mudslide risk. The storm arrives amid a record-late Atlantic hurricane start as El Niño suppresses Atlantic formation while the eastern Pacific stays active.
