Hurricane Rachel Strengthens to Category 3 Off Mexico's Pacific Coast
Hurricane Rachel has intensified to a Category 3 storm off Mexico's Pacific coast, approximately 245 miles from Baja California. The National Hurricane Center expects it to strengthen further before weakening over the weekend. Mexican authorities remain alert for heavy rain, flooding, landslides, and rising river levels in Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, and Jalisco. The US Embassy warned Americans in Cabos San Lucas about beach closures and dangerous surf. Experts link the active Pacific hurricane season to El Niño's influence on weather patterns.
