Summary

Hurricane Polo, which weakened from Category 5 to Category 3 strength, is approaching Mexico's Baja California Peninsula with expected landfall on September 28, 2026, threatening high winds, heavy rainfall of 4–8 inches with isolated maximums of 10 inches, flooding, and mudslides. A hurricane warning is in effect for portions of Baja California Sur's west coast. Los Cabos ports have closed and the Mexican Navy has deployed vessels to coastal communities. The storm is also affecting Southern California with dangerous rip currents, coastal flooding, and erosion threats. Remnants of Hurricane Polo have brought heavy rains and flooding to southern New Mexico and across the state, with multiple road closures, saturated soil conditions, and flash flood watches in effect. One death was reported in Clovis, New Mexico, when a lineman was killed attempting to repair a utility pole damaged by rainfall. Chaco Canyon National Historic Park closed due to a major road collapse. Separately, Tropical Storm Nolo is moving away from Hawaii after approaching with flooding concerns. A new Tropical Storm Rachel has also formed off Mexico's southwest coast.
