MIAMI (October 19, 2009)--Hurricane Rick has weakened in the eastern North Pacific, but is still a dangerous storm that could veer into resorts at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula by midweek, forecasters say.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla., says as of Sunday night, winds were down to 145 miles per hour, which makes Rick a Category 4 storm.
Its peak winds as a Category 5 hurricane were 180 miles per hour.
Forecasters said a hurricane watch may be required for parts of southern Baja California later Monday.
The eye of the storm was centered about 410 miles south of Cabo San Lucas late Sunday.
More weakening is expected over the next couple of days.
Large swells will cause potentially dangerous surf along the southern Baja California coast and west-central coast of Mexico.
