MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Hurricane Paul weakened as it closed in on a sparsely populated area of Mexico's Baja peninsula on Tuesday, while Hurricane Rafael was expected to miss Bermuda in the Atlantic, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Paul weakened to a Category 1 hurricane as it churned about 45 miles south of Cabo San Lazaro and it was expected to make landfall by Tuesday afternoon, the center said.

The storm was moving north at 18 miles per hour with maximum wind speeds of 90 miles per hour, the center said.
