MEXICO CITY—The hurricane Enrique barreling northwards off Mexico’s Pacific coast may strengthen slightly overnight before weakening on Monday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Sunday, though part of Mexico remain at risk of flash floods.

Enrique, currently about 150 miles (241 km) south of Cabo Corrientes in western Jalisco state, is expected to remain parallel to the Mexican coast through the night, the NHC said in its latest report at 11 a.m. ET.
