Hurricane Seymour became the fifth "major" (Category 3 or higher) hurricane of the 2016 eastern Pacific hurricane season Tuesday morning and continues to gain strength.
Seymour is forecast to continue its current strengthening trend through Wednesday morning before both increasing wind shear and cooler water begin to weaken the hurricane late this week. Seymour will remain far enough offshore to never be a direct threat to land.
Here's the latest from the National Hurricane Center:
- Hurricane Seymour was located nearly 700 miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, as of Tuesday evening.
- Seymour could strengthen further through Wednesday morning before weakening late this week.
- This system is moving away from Mexico's Baja Peninsula and is no direct threat to land.
- Seymour is the 13th hurricane of the 2016 northeast Pacific Ocean hurricane season.
