DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM MST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Polo was located
near latitude 26.2 North, longitude 111.9 West. Polo is moving
toward the northeast near 10 mph (17 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue along with a significant acceleration this
morning. On the forecast track, the core of Polo will continue
moving across Baja California Sur for another few hours tonight,
then move inland over southern Sonora late this morning.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 80 mph (130 km/h)
with higher gusts. Some slight additional weakening is forecast
during the next couple of hours while the center is over Baja
California Sur, but Polo is still expected to be a hurricane when it
makes its second landfall in mainland Mexico. Rapid weakening is
forecast on Tuesday when Polo moves well inland over mainland
Mexico.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles
(150 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 inches).
