Map Shows How Hurricanes Polo, Odalys Could Affect US States
Heavy rain and possible flash flooding is forecast for the Southwestern United States due to hurricanes this weekend.
Three hurricanes—Polo, Nolo, and Odalys—are currently active in the Pacific Ocean, threatening the southwestern United States with heavy rainfall and flash flood risks this weekend and into next week. A map published by the National Weather Service in Phoenix, Arizona, illustrates the increased probability of heavy rainfall in Arizona, New Mexico, northern Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicts Hurricane Polo to make landfall in Baja California Sur, Mexico, early next week, potentially causing life-threatening flooding and mudslides, while Hurricane Odalys, with maximum sustained winds of 105 miles per hour, is expected to impact the southwestern U.S. with southern swells through the middle of next week.
Hurricane Nolo, with sustained winds of 105 miles per hour, is situated to the south of Hawaii, leading to tropical storm conditions and potential significant flooding and mudslides on the Big Island and eastern Maui.
