马丁·席尔瓦·雷伊、梅根·贾内茨基,墨西哥圣卡洛斯港——飓风“波洛”于周二早些时候在墨西哥下加利福尼亚州登陆,所伴随的突发洪水和狂风被预报员形容为“危及生命”。美国国家飓风中心驻迈阿密办公室表示,这场二级飓风在拉斯巴兰卡斯以南登陆,地点距圣拉扎罗角以北约80英里(130公里),距穆莱赫以北约70英里(115公里)。登陆时,其最大持续风速为每小时110英里(175公里),正向东北方向移动,速度为每小时13英里(20公里)。

MARTÍN SILVA REY, MEGAN JANETSKY PUERTO SAN CARLOS, Mexico — Hurricane Polo made landfall early Tuesday in the Mexican state of Baja California with flash flooding and winds described by forecasters as “life-threatening.”The Category 2 hurricane struck land just south of Las Barrancas, Mexico, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) north of Cabo San Lazaro and about 70 miles (115 kilometers) south of Mulege with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (175 kph) while moving northeast at 13 mph (20 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

飓风中心表示,周一“波洛”还是一场三级飓风,最大持续风速为每小时115英里(185公里)。预计该飓风将在下加利福尼亚州南部部分地区带来6至12英寸(约15至30厘米)的降雨。

On Monday, Polo was a Category 3 storm with top sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph), the hurricane center said. It was expected to produce 6-12 inches (about 15 to 30 centimeters) of rain across parts of Baja California Sur .

预报员此前预计,“波洛”将袭击墨西哥本土,并可能带来危及生命的大风和突发洪水。本周稍晚时段,它还可能给美国西南部部分地区带来强降雨和洪灾。

Forecasters had predicted Polo would hit the Mexican mainland with life-threatening winds and flash floods expected. It could bring heavy rain and flooding to parts of the U.S. Southwest later in the week.

与此同时,飓风中心报告称,热带风暴“瑞秋”周二早些时候正沿与墨西哥海岸平行的路径移动。该风暴位于阿卡普尔科西南偏西约300英里(485公里)、曼萨尼约以南约315英里(505公里),最大持续风速为每小时60英里(95公里),正向西北偏西方向移动,速度为每小时12英里(19公里)。周一夜间,飓风“诺洛”仍是一场强飓风,但正逐渐远离夏威夷。

Meanwhile, the hurricane center reported Tropical Storm Rachel was moving parallel to Mexico’s coast early Tuesday. The storm was about 300 miles (485 kilometers) west-southwest of Acapulco and about 315 miles (505 kilometers) south of Manzanillo with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kph) while moving west-northwest at 12 mph (19 kph). Hurricane Nolo was still a major hurricane on Monday night, but was edging away from Hawaii .

墨西哥北部索诺拉州政府周一夜间宣布,将暂停全州所有“非必要”活动,包括州府及十余个市镇的学校、体育运动和非必要工作。

The government of the northern Mexican state of Sonora on Monday night announced it would suspend all “nonessential” activities, including school, sports and non-essential work in the state capital and more than a dozen municipalities.

墨西哥海军表示,已在北部太平洋沿岸沿线部署人员,并派出三艘能够运送物资的船只,为因“波洛”而与外界隔绝的沿海社区提供援助。下加利福尼亚半岛沿线地方当局表示,各避难所已准备就绪,同时该地区交通将暂停,区域内各港口也将关闭。

The Mexican navy said it had personnel ready across the northern Pacific coast and deployed three vessels that could ship aid to coastal communities isolated by Polo. Local authorities along the Baja California Peninsula said they had shelters ready, while travel will be suspended in the area and ports across the region will be closed.

美国国家气象局首席预报员鲍勃·奥拉韦克表示,在已经进入飓风季高峰期的当下太平洋风暴活动仍高于平均水平。他说,这种模式与厄尔尼诺年份的特征一致,因为这些年份太平洋地区通常会出现更多热带风暴和飓风。

Pacific storm activity has been above average during what is already the peak of hurricane season, according to National Weather Service lead forecaster Bob Oravec. He said that pattern is consistent with El Niño years, when the Pacific often sees more tropical storms and hurricanes.

预计降雨影响将延伸至美国西南部,亚利桑那州、犹他州、新墨西哥州和得克萨斯州将迎来数英寸的降雨。美国国家气象局驻新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基的资深水文服务专家安德鲁·曼厄姆说,植被稀少的干旱峡谷和多岩地带很容易发生山洪,热带天气又会增加风险。

The impact was expected to stretch into the U.S. Southwest, with Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Texas receiving inches of rain. Arid canyons and rocky expanses with little vegetation are conducive to flash flooding and the tropical weather adds more risk, said Andrew Mangham, senior service hydrologist for the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“我们这里在非常、非常短的时间内就积累了大量降雨,”曼厄姆说,“这并不是我们真正希望的情况。我们希望的是整个夏天都能持续迎来适量的降雨。”周一,“诺罗”飓风已移动至檀香山西南偏西约425英里(685公里)处。当时风暴中心位于法国护卫舰浅滩东南偏南约330英里(535公里)处,最大持续风速为每小时120英里(195公里),正以每小时15英里(24公里)的速度向西北偏北移动。

“We’re getting caught up here in a very, very short time,” Mangham said. “And that’s not really what we want. We want nice rains, you know, all summer long.”Hurricane Nolo on Monday had moved to about 425 miles (685 kilometers) west-southwest of Honolulu. The storm was about 330 miles (535 kilometers) south-southeast of French Frigate Shoals with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (195 kph) moving north-northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).

周末期间,“诺罗”飓风导致夏威夷大岛南部和东南部多个社区遭受暴雨。美国国民警卫队在一则帖文中表示,夏威夷国民警卫队周末期间从洪水中救援了19人。根据飓风中心的说法,飓风当时正逼近 Papahānaumokuākea 海洋国家纪念地;该地区是一片海洋保护区,气旋中心警告称,从周二开始风暴可能给当地带来危险状况。

Nolo drenched communities in south and southeastern parts of Hawaii’s Big Island over the weekend. Hawaii National Guard members rescued 19 people from flooding over the weekend, the U.S. National Guard said in a post on The hurricane was approaching Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, a marine conservation area, according to the hurricane center, which said the storm could bring dangerous conditions to the area starting Tuesday.
