CALIFORNIA NORTH OF BUENA VISTA TO LA PAZ...AND FOR THE COAST OF MAINLAND

A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
WITHIN THE WATCH AREA...GENERALLY WITHIN 36 HOURS.
INTERESTS ELSEWHERE IN SOUTHERN BAJA CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN MAINLAND MEXICO
SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF RICK.
Tropical Storm Rick has diminished significantly from the dangerous Category 5 Hurricane that moved toward Baja California Sur over the weekend. However, significant rainfall of between 3" and 6" could still be expected along with tropical storm force winds. Tropical Storm Rick is forecast to move about 60-80 miles south of the south eastern shores of Baja California Sur, across the Sea of Cortez to make landfall on the mainland. Tropical storm force winds currently extend out more than 150 miles, so parts of the tip of the peninsula will still experience winds to 60mph late this evening and on into tomorrow morning.
We are glad that the full force of Rick will not be inflicted on the southern portions of the Baja peninsula.
