Hurricane Polo Brings Heavy Rain to U.S. Southwest
Hurricane Polo, after making two landfalls in Mexico, is now impacting the U.S. Southwest with significant rainfall. The National Weather Service forecasts 2-5 inches of rain from Arizona and New Mexico northeastward along Polo's remnants. Additionally, 3-7 inches of rain are expected over Texas and Oklahoma due to a moist air flow from the Gulf of Mexico. Southern New Mexico, already affected by recent flash floods, is at particular risk, with the region placed under a 'Moderate' risk for excessive rainfall. Polo's remnants, combined with moisture from ex-Hurricane Odalys and Gulf inflows, are expected to cause widespread heavy rain and localized flash flooding through the week. The storm's impact is part of a broader weather system affecting the Southwest and Great Plains.
