Hurricane Polo, currently a Category 4 storm, is expected to bring heavy rain to southwestern Mexico but remain offshore.
But as the system moves north, following a similar path to Hurricane Marie, there is a chance Southern California could see heavy humidity and rough weather by the weekend. Timing of that impact is still in flux, but Polo is expected to bring rip currents and the potential for large swells to the region’s already battered coast.
Polo had maximum sustained winds of 130 mph and may intensify further and reach Category 5 strength Tuesday or Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Category 4 storms have winds of 130-156 mph on the Saffir-Simpson scale, and Category 5 hurricanes have winds exceeding 157 mph.

Hurricane Polo’s impact on Mexico
Polo was moving east-southeast at 5 mph and was forecast to sharply turn northwest and west-northwest. On that path, Polo would skirt the Mexican coast for a few days without directly making landfall.
A tropical storm watch was issued for part of the coast south of Manzanillo in Colima state to Tecpan de Galeana in Guerrero state, meaning tropical storm conditions were possible in the area within two days. Polo was centered about 330 miles south-southeast of Manzanillo as of late Monday.
