Hurricane Polo, currently a Category 1 hurricane off Mexico's southwestern coast, could intensify to Category 5 with winds up to 160 mph by late Tuesday. While it is expected to remain offshore, its moisture may trigger flood warnings in New Mexico starting Tuesday and bring heavy rains and potential flooding and landslides to Southern California, following Hurricane Marie’s recent impact on the state. Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Monday to prepare for winter storms amid an already historic El Niño season.

Story summary
Hurricane Polo, rapidly intensifying to a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (265 km/h), became one of the most powerful Pacific cyclones in decades. Centered approximately 346 kilometers south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, it was expected to skirt the southwestern coast without making landfall but could cause significant flooding and mudslides inland due to heavy rainfall forecasts. The National Hurricane Center warned that coastal states like Guerrero and Michoacán might receive up to 12 inches (30 cm) of rain by Thursday, raising flood risks. Researchers linked Polo's unusual strength to the strong El Niño weather pattern, which has fueled extreme conditions globally this year.
