The National Hurricane Center reported that Hurricane Trudy in the eastern Pacific has maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (75 knots) and a central pressure of 963 mb as of 12:00 PM CST on October 16, 2026.

Trudy is located about 230 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, and 320 miles south-southeast of Manzanillo, Mexico, moving north-northwest at 5 mph.

A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the coast of Mexico from Manzanillo northward to Playa Perula, with a Hurricane Watch and Tropical Storm Warnings and Watches issued for surrounding coastal areas.

The National Hurricane Center noted that satellite wind data show Trudy is weaker than previously indicated, and a Hurricane Hunter aircraft was about to investigate the storm further.

Residents and interests along the southwestern and west-central coast of Mexico are advised to monitor updates and complete preparations to protect life and property as conditions may become dangerous.

The warnings indicate hurricane conditions are expected within the warning areas, typically issued 36 hours before tropical-storm-force winds begin, while watches indicate possible hurricane conditions within 48 hours.
