Hurricane Polo, a category-three storm packing sustained winds of up to 115 mph (185 km/h), is bearing down on Mexico's Baja California Sur — a tourist-heavy Pacific peninsula whose southern tip includes the resort city of Los Cabos — with landfall expected on Monday evening. The US National Hurricane Center has warned of life-threatening flash floods, storm surges, mudslides, and dangerous rip currents, prompting authorities to close ports, restrict beach access, and halt travel in the storm's path. Even after Polo weakens, its remnants are forecast to bring strong gusty winds as far as southern New Mexico and western Texas.
