Hurricane Willa has rapidly intensified into a dangerous Category 4 hurricane and is expected to strengthen further early this week. Damaging winds, flooding rain and a potentially destructive storm surge will threaten Mexico's Pacific coastline by midweek.
Tropical Storm Vicente also poses a heavy rain threat to Mexico in the week ahead.
Willa is tracking north-northwestward but is expected to slowly recurve toward the north Monday and the north-northeast by Tuesday. It should approach landfall along the southwestern coast of mainland Mexico by late Tuesday, which is expected to occur anywhere from near or north of Mazatlán to near Puerto Vallarta.
Hurricane Willa's maximum sustained winds increased by 55 mph in the 24 hours ending 5 p.m. EDT Sunday. Willa's winds increased by an additional 25 mph during the following three hours from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. EDT Sunday.
