Polo (Cat 5 Presently) Already Impacting SW US




Major Hurricane Polo, now a Category 5 for the second time in as many days, has already been helping pump up copious moisture into the southwestern US, resulting in several areas of significant rainfall and necessitating flash flood watches and warnings, while still well south of even the Baja.

More to come
