MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Flossie continued to weaken as a
Category 1 hurricane off Mexico’s southwestern Pacific coast
with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), the U.S.
National Hurricane Center said.
It's expected to remain offshore and dissipate Thursday, but
swells as well as “life-threatening” surf and rip currents were
expected in southwestern Mexico and the Baja California
peninsula in the coming days.
The Miami-based center said Flossie was about 215 miles (345
kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas and was moving northwest off
the Mexican coast at 8 mph (13 kph). It was expected to skirt
the coast for a few days while dropping rain on several Mexican
states.
Flossie became a powerful Category 3 hurricane late on Tuesday,
but gradually weakened throughout Wednesday.
