根据国家飓风中心的预测，飓风凡斯预计将在未来24小时内稳步增强，并在周五夜间变成大型飓风。
Hurricane Vance is expected to steadily intensify in the next 24 hours and turn into a major hurricane by Friday night, according to the projections of the National Hurricane Center.
飓风中心在周五上午的公告中表示：“凡斯产生的涌浪预计将于本周末开始影响墨西哥南部和西南部部分海岸，并持续到下周。”公告称：“这些涌浪可能导致危及生命的冲浪和离岸流条件。”
“Swells generated by Vance are expected to begin affecting portions of the coast of southern and southwestern Mexico this weekend and continue into next week,” the hurricane center said in an advisory Friday morning. “These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions,” the advisory said.
据美联社报道，凡斯于周五成为飓风，属于一级飓风，最大持续风速为每小时90英里，可能在周五结束前成为三级大型飓风。
Vance, which became a hurricane Friday, was a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph and could become a major Category 3 hurricane before the end of Friday, the Associated Press reported.
它可能成为今年太平洋连续第七个大型飓风，此前已有诺洛、奥达利斯、波洛、雷切尔、西蒙和特鲁迪。
It could be the seventh major hurricane in a row this year in the Pacific Ocean, following Nolo, Odalys, Polo, Rachel, Simon and Trudy.
根据美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的一份报告，截至9月28日，东北太平洋和中太平洋盆地今年已出现多个强风暴，该地区至少有20个命名风暴。其中9个风暴已达到飓风强度。
The northeastern and central Pacific basins saw a number of powerful storms this year with at least 20 named storms in the region by Sept. 28, according to a NASA report. Nine of those storms had reached hurricane strength.
今年太平洋飓风季异常活跃，正值厄尔尼诺现象造成异常天气模式之际。
The intense hurricane season in the Pacific comes as El Nino conditions create unusual weather patterns.
美联社7月曾报道，今年的厄尔尼诺现象有81%的几率在秋季变得“非常强”，从而改变全球天气模式。
In July, the AP reported that this year’s El Nino had an 81 percent chance of becoming “very strong” by fall, altering weather patterns across the globe.
