Hurricane Kristy tracker: See path of Category 1 storm as it continues to weaken
Hurricane Kristy weakened to a Category 1 storm on Saturday and is expected to downgrade into a post-tropical cyclone and disorganize in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) announced.
On Saturday morning, the agency said the hurricane was over 1,000 miles from the southern tip of Baja California. Kristy is moving northwest at roughly 15 mph, the NHC said.
NHC said Hurricane Kristy has maximum sustained winds of 75 mph with higher gusts.
Forecasters are continuing to monitor the hurricane as it dissipates. The NHC said swells generated by Hurricane Kristy are affecting portions of the west coast of the Baja California peninsula. This impact is expected to continue through the weekend, the NHC said. These swells are likely to “cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions,” the agency said.
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect, the NHC said.
