Category 4 Hurricane Simon Approaches West-Central Mexico Coast

Hurricane Simon, an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph, is currently positioned very near the west-central coast of Mexico. It is forecast to move near or over the coast today as a major hurricane, bringing destructive winds and flooding to affected areas. Rapid weakening is possible if the storm's core moves fully onshore, but it still poses a significant threat to coastal communities.
