Hurricane Fabio is growing stronger far off Mexico’s Pacific Coast and forecasters say it’s expected to become a major hurricane later in the day or Wednesday. It’s not expected to be a threat to land, however.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Fabio had sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph) early Tuesday. It was centered about 615 miles (990 kilometers) south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula and was moving quickly west-northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).
Forecasters say Fabio is likely to grow into a major hurricane with winds of about 115 mph (185 kph). But the center says the storm should then begin to weaken as it moves farther out into the Pacific.
