What happened
Tropical Storm Trudy is strengthening off Mexico’s southern Pacific coast and is forecast to become a major hurricane by Friday, reaching Category 4 status with sustained winds of 130 mph by Friday evening. The National Hurricane Center forecasts Trudy will pass offshore of Guerrero and Michoacán before approaching the port of Manzanillo in Colima state by Saturday evening. The storm is expected to move inland over western Mexico and reach the southern Gulf of California early next week.
