Hurricane season is in full swing as Dolores gains strength and moves south of the Mexican Pacific coast. The storm is expected to be classified as a major hurricane (Category 3 or above) using the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, within the next few days, as Dolores continues to grow. At this time, the storm is moving west-northwest at a steady 5-10 miles per hour and is not expected to make landfall. The storm is causing high surf conditions, rip tides and heavy rains as it moves along the Pacific coast.
