墨西哥城9月27日电——气象预报员表示，已减弱为3级风暴的飓风“波洛”预计将于周一晚间在南下加利福尼亚州的太平洋沿岸登陆，届时将为这一热门旅游目的地带来每小时60至80英里的持续风速及强降雨。
MEXICO CITY, Sept 27 - Forecasters said Hurricane Polo, which has weakened to a Category 3 storm, is expected to make landfall on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur on Monday night, bringing sustained winds of 60 to 80 mph and heavy rain to the popular tourist destination.
据美国国家飓风中心消息，截至周日上午11点（美国东部时间），该飓风位于下加利福尼亚海岸约200英里处，正以每小时12英里的速度向西北偏北方向移动，持续风速为每小时125英里。
As of 11 a.m. EDT on Sunday, the hurricane was about 200 miles off the Baja California coast, moving north-northwest at 12 mph with sustained winds of 125 mph, according to the US National Hurricane Center.
私人气象预报机构AccuWeather称，预计“波洛”在登陆前将逐渐减弱为1级飓风，但仍可能导致树木和电线倒塌，并造成结构性破坏。
Private forecaster AccuWeather said Polo is expected to gradually weaken before making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane, but could still topple trees and power lines and inflict structural damage.
强降雨、巨浪和强风已促使墨西哥太平洋沿岸地区采取疏散措施、关闭港口并停课。在度假城市圣何塞德尔卡沃，当局限制了进入海滩的通道，因为风暴掀起了巨浪，海况危险。
Heavy rain, high surf and strong winds have already prompted evacuations, port closures and school cancellations along Mexico's Pacific coast. In the resort city of San Jose del Cabo, authorities restricted access to beaches as the storm churned up large waves and dangerous surf.
据预测，“波洛”将在下加利福尼亚州带来4至8英寸（10至20厘米）的降雨，增加引发致命洪水和泥石流的风险，随后将穿过加利福尼亚湾，进入北部的索诺拉州和奇瓦瓦州。
Polo is forecast to dump 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) of rain across Baja California, raising the risk of life-threatening flooding and mudslides, before crossing the Gulf of California and moving into the northern states of Sonora and Chihuahua.
