MIAMI: Adrian, the first Pacific hurricane of the 2011 season, was downgraded to a category three storm after its winds dropped to 125 miles per hour, the US weather agency said.
The National Weather Service, said Adrian was moving at 12 miles per hour toward the west-northwest, and was about 390 miles off the coast of Cabo Corrientes on Mexico's west coast.
The NHC said some weakening of the hurricane was expected over the next 48 hours.
It had earlier categorized Adrian as a category four storm on the five-point Saffir-Simpson scale, but had predicted that it would stay "well away from Mexico" while causing high waves along the coast.
