MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Kay made landfall on a sparsely populated peninsula on Mexico’s Pacific coast before weakening into a tropical storm as it traveled on a path forecasters said might bring its rains to southernmost California by the weekend. The storm’s maximum sustained winds weakened to near 70 mph (110 kph) and Kay was expected to continue weakening in the coming hours. The eye of the storm came ashore as a hurricane near Bahia Asuncion in Baja California Sur state. Kay was forecast to move back out over cooler water, weakening it further.
