Hurricane Lidia approaches Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; winds expected to top 100 mph

Hurricane Lidia is closing in on Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and is expected to make landfall late Tuesday, one day after Hurricane Max died out on the southern Pacific coast.

Hurricane Lidia took aim at Mexico’s Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta, and forecasters said it could have winds up to 105 mph when it hits land later Tuesday.

The hurricane is expected to sweep over a spit of land around Cabo Corrientes before hitting the bay where Puerto Vallarta is located, which could cushion the blow somewhat.

Local authorities cancelled classes in communities around the coast. The expected impact comes one day after Tropical Storm Max hit the southern Pacific coast, hundreds of miles away, and then dissipated.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Lidia had winds of about 100 mph Tuesday, and was expected to strengthen to about 105 mph before making landfall.
