Hurricane Agatha has its sights set on Mexico landfall before weakening, then a potential move toward the Gulf

Hurricane Agatha is expected to continue to strengthen as it heads toward southern Mexico, where it’s expected to make landfall on Monday before potentially crossing into the Gulf of Mexico.

Agatha’s maximum sustained winds increased to 90 mph Sunday afternoon, up from 75 mph earlier in the day, making it a stronger Category 1 hurricane. After moving over southern Mexico, Agatha is expected to emerge in Mexico’s Bay of Campeche, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Caribbean Sea, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said.

If Agatha or its remnants make it to the Gulf of Mexico, conditions could be favorable for further development.
