California off northwest
Mexico Saturday, after making landfall near the Los Cabos beach resort, the Mexican hurricane monitor said.
With maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers (50 miles) per hour, the storm is expected to bring heavy rains to Baja California Sur and the neighboring state of Sinaloa as it moves north at 19 kilometers per hour, CONAGUA said.
