   Hurricane Jova coastal watches/warnings and 5-Day forecast cone for
   Storm Center, October 10, 2011.

   The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Jova could make
   landfall on coastal southwestern Mexico by Tuesday.
   The Pacific storm became a hurricane Saturday and is slowly moving
   toward Mexico with winds of 120 kilometers per hour.
   Jova is expected to strengthen and may become a major storm before it
   reaches the Mexican coast. Forecasters say heavy rains from Jova could
   trigger flooding and landslides.
   In the Atlantic, former hurricane Philippe has been downgraded and
   poses no threat to land.
   The Atlantic and the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Seasons end November 30.
