Forecasters said Polo could reach Category 4 strength and bring flooding rain, damaging winds and storm surge to Mexico’s Pacific coast.
- Tropical Storm Polo formed late yesterday off southwestern Mexico, according to The Associated Press. The system developed in the Pacific basin, requiring close monitoring.
- With maximum sustained winds near 40 mph , Polo is forecast to strengthen rapidly over the next few days, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The system's rapid intensification poses growing concern.
- Heavy rain was forecast for the Mexican states of Michoac, Colima, and Jalisco through Thursday. These regions face significant precipitation as Polo approaches the coast.
- Polo was moving toward the east-northeast near 5 mph as of yesterday. A turn toward the east is expected tomorrow, followed by a sharp turn toward the north and northwest in two days.
- Forecasters expect Polo to become a major hurricane by midweek, representing significant intensification for the system. This escalation underscores the urgent threat to affected Mexican regions.
