Category 5 Hurricane Polo Could Send Rain, Dangerous Surf To Battered SoCal
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Polo has 130 mph winds and could strengthen further while bringing heavy rain, flooding and landslides to Mexico.
- On Tuesday, Hurricane Polo rapidly strengthened into a rare Category 5 storm off the coast of Mexico, prompting the National Hurricane Center to warn of "extremely dangerous" potential impacts to the region.
- Dumping up to 8 inches of rain over parts of Guerrero and Michoacán through Thursday, the storm is expected to track northwest offshore, creating a risk of life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
- Though widespread rain is not forecast, Southern California may see large surf, dangerous rip currents, and increased humidity later this week as the system moves north.
- Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a statewide state of emergency on Monday to prepare California for potential winter storms and flooding, building on local declarations in beach communities.
- Forecasting the storm's exact trajectory remains difficult as meteorologist Munyan said, "It's just something to keep an eye on" over the next three or four days.
