Hurricane Sergio Track to Shift Toward U.S. Southwest

Hurricane Sergio continues churning as a large, Category 3 storm in the Pacific. The latest forecast models and storm predictions track Sergio to the east as a tropical storm, making landfall across Baja California, Mexico and tracking up through the U.S. Southwest as a heavy rain maker. Sergio’s path would be similar to Hurricane Rosa’s, which caused flooding across the Desert Southwest earlier this week.

Hurricane Sergio, currently with winds of 125 miles per hour after reaching Category 4 strength two days ago, continues moving away from Mexico and the U.S. West Coast, but that’s expected to change in the coming days. The weather pattern is predicted to turn Sergio back to the East, toward land.

Hurricane Sergio is expected to weaken as it approaches Mexico and the U.S., becoming a tropical storm in about five days before it makes landfall. But Sergio, as either a tropical storm or depression, could pour heavy rains with flooding potential to southern California’s San Diego area and into Phoenix and Arizona, recently flooding by Rosa. Sergio’s rain could help drought-stricken areas of the Desert Southwest
