Hurricane Polo remains a powerful Category Four hurricane off the southwestern coast of Mexico, with maximum sustained winds near 155 mph. The storm is currently moving west-northwest away from the immediate southwestern Mexican coastline; however, the forecast track now brings Polo northward toward Baja California Sur later this weekend into Monday/Tuesday of next week.
- Polo is forecast to remain a major hurricane through the weekend before weakening as it approaches and crosses Baja California Sur early next week
- Current guidance indicates the storm could pass over Baja California Sur late Monday into Tuesday, then move into or near the Gulf of California while still producing hurricane-force or tropical storm-force conditions
- Southwestern Mexico remains at risk for additional rain, flooding, mudslides, surf, and coastal logistics delays through today; swells, rough seas, port disruptions, and road delays are expected to expand north toward Baja California Sur over the weekend
- Potential supply issues include harvest interruptions, reduced field access, delayed crossings, transfer delays, and quality concerns tied to moisture, wind, and extended transit time
- Primary items to monitor this week remain avocados and limes from Western Mexico
- Early next week storm exposure could develop for tomatoes, cucumbers, chiles, and other vegetables if rain, wind, or transportation delays increase across Baja California Sur and northwest Mexico
- Markon will continue to monitor the storm track, regional weather impacts, and supplier updates as Polo approaches Baja California Sur early next week
