From Accuweather:
Erick was upgraded to a hurricane on Wednesday morning. Additional rapid strengthening is feared prior to approaching the southwestern coast of Mexico on Thursday with the effects of a major hurricane.
AccuWeather meteorologists believe Hurricane Erick will continue to strengthen and will do so at a rapid pace for a time over the next couple of days. It will become the strongest tropical cyclone in the Northern and Western Hemisphere so far this year before approaching the southwestern coast of Mexico as a dangerous hurricane.
