Hurricane Willa strengthened to a powerful Category 5 storm Monday morning, taking aim at the Mexican coast and threatening to deliver life-threatening storm surge, wind and rain.
Now packing 160 mph winds, some strengthening was still possible for the storm Monday, making Willa "potentially catastrophic" for Mexico, the National Hurricane Center warned.
It's expected to weaken when it makes landfall Tuesday but is forecast to bring large waves, dangerous storm surge, gusty winds and heavy rain.
Mexico will begin to feel the impacts of Willa late Tuesday morning. The storm is forecast to make landfall south of Mazatlan Tuesday night as a major Category 3 hurricane or higher, potentially bringing life-threatening storm surge and flash floods farther inland.
Some regions of Mexico could see up to 18 inches of rain.

Pardon the minor typos. I was typing very fast.
Thanks for that.
Wasn’t serious...I miscpel words
on here regularly.
This system will come nowhere near the “caravan.” Willa will be destroyed within 72 hours, take in upper level energy, and end up as a nor’easter heading up the east coat to New England. The worst aspect will be the rain event it dumps on the Carolina’s. The most rain the invaders will get is perhaps 2 to 3.”
Wow, hadn’t thought of that. But isn’t the hurricane going to be way out in front of them? They won’t have to deal with the wind and rain so much as with all the high rivers and standing water, etc., Which could be very interesting to watch!

At least the storm will give the travelers their first bath in weeks.
Throw a couple bars of soap into those crowds and many will scatter like cockroaches, including American reporters.
Lol You’re right.
#21. Those little red jungle ants in Guatemala (Peten) are nasty critters. I brushed against a palm fond plant and ended up with scores on my legs and thighs. Dropped trowel right in the middle of the jungle to swat them off.
Formic Acid, even in small amounts, is Formidable, esp. when scores of ants are feasting on your butt!
Right on.
And for the Dems on Nov. 6:
H-U-M-I-L-I-A-T-I-O-N !!!!!
and the Mexican government replies, “Manana, manana, manana is good enough for me!”
Yes!
Perhaps this could be Trumps divine intervention!!!
I'll take that deal. It'll be a quagmire.
Actually, both are in evidence.
How about Cara-vaders.
The bottom line is, if they’re doing this to reach the border by election day, even a delay is a disaster. Because they won’t be at the border when people are voting.
Heh. I can see the election day coverage. Trump deploys National Guardsmen to rescue flood-stranded cara-vaders in Mexico, return them to Honduras and Guatemala. CNN anchormen furious. Hillary gets drunk.
Kansas is expecting some of the rainfall from Willa, but the weatherman says that Texas will suck up most of the moisture.
It would be nice to see the invaders stopped long enough to impair any impact they might have on the election. And I agree, if Mexico fails to stop them, then yes, bill them for our expenses, plus the cost of the wall that we do need.
