MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Polo churned south of the Baja California Peninsula on Saturday night, whipping up waves along the shore and swirling more rain onto residents trying to recover from the damage inflicted by Hurricane Odile.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Polo was centered about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas on Saturday night. Its sustained winds had weakened to 40 mph (65 kph) and the storm was moving to the west-northwest at 7 mph 11 (kph). Polo’s center was forecast to pass by during the night and begin moving farther from land.
