Hurricane “Orlene” to make landfall over southwestern Mexico on October 3

Orlene rapidly strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane over the past two days and is now weakening as it approaches southwestern Mexico. Weakening is expected to continue during the next day or so, however, Orlene is forecast to be a strong hurricane when it passes near or over the Islas Marias, and remain a hurricane when it reaches southwestern Mexico.
