    Hurricane Rachel stays far offshore, no coastal warnings

    Rachel is a Category 1-strength hurricane well out in the Pacific, south-southwest of Baja's tip and drifting west, away from Sayulita. No watches are posted, but its swells are reaching west-central Mexico, so expect bigger surf and rip currents.

  2. , Azteca Jalisco

    Hurricane Polo swell pushed waves onto Vallarta's malecón

    Heavy surf from Hurricane Polo reached the Puerto Vallarta boardwalk, sending water over the walkway. Authorities asked people to keep away from the shoreline while the swell lasted.

  3. , Azteca Jalisco

    Bahía de Banderas readied 18 shelters ahead of Polo

    The municipality's civil protection committee met and put 18 temporary shelters on standby as Hurricane Polo approached, warning that heavy rain and strong surf were the main threats.

  4. , Uno TV

    Amado Nervo bridge over the Ameca is finished early

    Federal officials say the new toll-free bridge linking Bahía de Banderas and Puerto Vallarta is complete months ahead of its December target. It should cut about 25 minutes off the drive; no traffic-opening date was given.

  5. , Out and About PV

    Passenger numbers at Vallarta's airport are slowly recovering

    PVR traffic fell sharply this spring, bottoming out in March after a late-February security incident and Spirit Airlines' shutdown. Monthly declines have narrowed since, and the airport operator calls the slump temporary.
