Hurricane Polo weakened to a Category 4 storm with 155 mph (250 km/h) winds on Thursday morning, Sept. 24, hours after regaining Category 5 strength, and forecasters now expect it to cross Baja California Sur early next week as a weakening hurricane. In its Thursday morning forecast discussion, the National Hurricane Center said its track takes Polo away from Mexico's southwestern coast on Thursday and then over Baja California Sur in four to five days.
