Hurricane Bud, currently building on the west coast of Mexico, was forecasted to strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane by Tuesday or Wednesday. Even though farmers would welcome rainfall accompanying the hurricane, the weather forecasters at Accuweather state that they expect it to bring flash floods as well.

Given the currently strong developing El Nino undercurrent, the Pacific hurricane season is forecasted to be quite active this year.
At its strongest, Bud should be a 115-mph Category 3 storm, the National Hurricane Center said. https://t.co/OlHsoyt2Df

Accuweather claimed that the storm is " likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" along the west coast of Mexico whilst rain from Bud "could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in higher terrain."
