Hurricane Barbara strengthens to category 1 and moves northwest off southwestern Mexico, bringing life-threatening surf and gusty winds to coastal areas as it weakens over cooler waters.
Hurricane Barbara has become the first hurricane of the 2025 Pacific season after strengthening to a Category 1 storm just off Mexico’s southwestern coast. The system is moving northwest at about 9 knots under the influence of a mid-level ridge over mainland Mexico. Forecasters expect Barbara to hold this general motion over the next few days.
