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. The storm threatens heavy rainfall of 4–8 inches with isolated maximums of 10 inches, life-threatening flooding, mudslides, and dangerous rip currents. Ports in Los Cabos have closed, and cruise ships have rerouted. Separately, Hurricane Nolo is moving away from Hawaii after approaching with flooding concerns. The remnants of Hurricane Polo have brought heavy rains and flooding to southern New Mexico and Southern California, with multiple road closures, saturated soils, and flash flood watches across New Mexico counties. In Clovis, New Mexico, approximately 10 inches of rain caused significant damage to homes and businesses, and a utility worker died while attempting repairs during the flooding. Officials across affected regions have urged residents to prepare for and avoid hazardous conditions.
