[Updated at 2:16 p.m. ET] Rina has strengthened into a hurricane, according to reports from a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft.
A special advisory will be issued upgrading the storm to a hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said Monday afternoon.
[Posted at 1:45 p.m. ET] The projected path of Tropical Storm Rina shifted course Monday, menacing Mexico with the possibility of strong winds and heavy rainfall.
Forecasters said Rina was expected to strengthen into a hurricane by Tuesday and could make landfall in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula later this week. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and was moving northwest at 6 mph.
Flood-soaked Central America also braced for more rain Monday as Tropical Storm Rina lumbered toward land.

Mother nature shouldn't be taken lightly
As opposed to YOU? Stop it.
Let's hope this is Texas' answer to rain prayers. Without all of the other stuff that normally comes with a hurricane.
Yeah... unfortunately, you cannot pick and choose what you get with a hurricane. Be careful what you wish for.
Here's a coincidence. I flew to Texas on Sunday the 9th from Canada for a course and it rained. Apparently the first time for a long time. If you brought a few English there It would be a monsoon...
Si. I hope everyone will be ok.
How did we go from hurricane to sugar cane v. sugar beets & high fructose cornsyrup!? Is this 1 of those stream of consciousness threads? Lol!!
mmm whiskey and rum
I am eating deep fried Jicama. Yum.
CNN, why does your satellite and projected track show a disturbance in the Pacific? Rina is in the Carribbean. And is expected to hit the Yucatan of Mexico.
Ahhh...much better. thx.
its splet REENA
@fernace:
Yes! As most of them are...
Blame it on the Zionists? That's so pre-WWII. I'd rather blame it on the migrant Arabs that call themselves Palestinians. They are the hate breeders of the Western world.
