Tropical storm Kay strengthened into a hurricane off Mexico's Pacific coast on Monday, weather authorities said, a day after leaving three people dead in the southwestern state of Guerrero.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami reported Kay had strengthened into a hurricane, forecasting that outer rain bands will continue to affect southwestern Mexico for the next day or so.
Over the weekend Kay damaged houses, felled trees and overflowed rivers in the state of Guerrero and in the port of Acapulco, on the Pacific Coast.
