The center of the storm was forecast to approach southern Mexico Wednesday night and move inland or be near the coast Thursday, prompting a hurricane warning from Acapulco to Puerto Angel. A hurricane watch has also been issued from west of Acapulco to Texpan de Galeana, and from east of Puerto Angel to Bahias de Huatulco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The National Hurricane Center warned that rapid strengthening is expected and that Erick could reach major hurricane status before it reaches land.
