Hurricane Trudy strengthens to Category 2 as it approaches Mexico coast - CTV News

Hurricane Trudy intensified rapidly overnight, becoming a Category 3 hurricane off Mexico's Pacific coast, as the eastern Pacific hurricane season approaches a significant milestone. Trudy is the tenth hurricane to form in the Eastern Pacific this year. It is also the first time since 2018 that the basin has seen ten major hurricanes, indicating an unusually active season. The storm is expected to intensify further through Friday, possibly reaching Category 4 status as it churns offshore.

For the time being, a direct landfall is unlikely, as high pressure builds over Mexico, helping to steer the storm away from the coast. However, the forecast track may still bring severe weather to parts of southwestern and west-central Mexico. Even without a direct hit, a powerful hurricane passing close by can cause dangerous coastal conditions and torrential rains.

We have also listed the top PC/ID athletes in a separate chart – Mexico’s Hugo Oliveras topped that division in 12:48:20.
