The storm is currently positioned 40 miles east of the popular resort town of Tulum and is expected to make landfall over Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula within the next few hours.
The National Hurricane Center has issued warnings for the area, stating that hurricane conditions are anticipated in the region later this morning.
