Summary

Hurricane Polo, a major hurricane that reached Category 5 strength off Mexico's Pacific coast, made landfall in Baja California Sur as a Category 2 or 3 storm and subsequently weakened to a tropical storm as it moved inland. The storm caused heavy rain, flooding, and landslides in Mexico, particularly threatening coastal regions including Sonora and the Baja California Peninsula. In the United States, Hurricane Polo brought dangerous surf, rip currents, and coastal flooding to Southern California beaches, with swells peaking Monday through Tuesday. The storm's remnants moved northeast across the southwestern United States, bringing heavy rainfall to New Mexico, Arizona, parts of West Texas, Nebraska, and the Chicago area, with flood watches and advisories issued in multiple states. Rescue and emergency response teams were deployed to assist with anticipated flooding in affected regions.
