🔴 LIVE EMERGENCY COVERAGE | SIMON CHANGES COURSE AND MISSES THE COAST
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the National Water Commission (Conagua/SMN) confirm crucial changes in the 8:00 PM MST bulletin regarding Major Hurricane Simon (Category 3 with sustained winds of 195 km/h and a pressure of 956 mb):
1. CURRENT SITUATION IN JALISCO AND COLIMA:
The eye of Simon is located just 75 km (45 miles) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco, moving very slowly at 7 km/h toward the north-northwest. Although the core remains slightly offshore, its bands of hurricane-force winds and torrential rains are directly impacting the coast of Jalisco (Costa Alegre, Cabo Corrientes, and Banderas Bay/Puerto Vallarta).
2. MIDWEEK COURSE CHANGE:
Simón will continue moving almost parallel to the coast through Tuesday. However, a strong upper-level trough over the western U.S. will slow the hurricane and force it into a sharp turn toward the northeast midweek, heading for a direct landfall in western/northwestern Mexico (between Nayarit and southern Sinaloa) over waters with temperatures of 31°C to 32°C.
OFFICIAL DATA FROM THE NHC BULLETIN (8:00 PM MST):
📍 Location: 19.8°N, 106.0°W (75 km from Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco; and 200 km west-northwest of Manzanillo).
💨 Maximum sustained winds: 195 km/h (120 mph) with higher gusts (Major Category 3).
🌀 Minimum central pressure: 956 mb (28.23 inches).
🧭 Current movement: Northwest (325°) at only 7 km/h (5 mph).
ALERTS AND CHANGES IN EFFECT:
🚨 HURRICANE WARNING: From Playa Pérula, Jalisco, to El Roblito, Nayarit, and Islas Marías. (Discontinued from Punta San Telmo to Playa Pérula).
⚠️ NEW HURRICANE WATCH: From El Roblito, Nayarit, northward to Bahía Tempehuaya, Sinaloa.
POTENTIALLY DEADLY HAZARDS ON LAND:
💨 Hurricane-force winds and destructive gusts are battering the Cabo Corrientes and Puerto Vallarta area tonight and spreading into Nayarit.
🌧️ Torrential rains with additional accumulations of 2 to 4 inches (isolated maximums of 8 inches), reaching record totals of UP TO 30 INCHES (750 MM) in Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco. Extreme risk of mudslides and river flooding.
🌊 Destructive storm surge and coastal flooding with giant breaking waves.
