Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The storm's persistence near Puerto Vallarta and the resulting damage could disrupt local travel and tourism operations. The closure of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport affects air service connections to the region.

Hurricane Isaias is heading toward the U.S. Gulf Coast while Hurricane Simon moves toward Mexico's Pacific coast, both influenced by El Niño.
