You have to play with it sometimes. Click on Pacific Hurricanes near the top, then turn on the clouds middle-right. You'll figure it out.

Strangely enough, Frank doesn't seem to have the clouds we see in other events. It may be just a lot of hellacious wind.

We'll see.

Frank is barely a hurricane and, to me, looks like it will fizzle long before we see anything from it.

Ah Judy, My favorite weather girl, I hope You are right!

Here in Vera Cruz this morning the sun is shiining bright as I have seen it since I have been here. Still, wispy clouds, and the sky is the lightest blue, so different than the intense blue of Baja or the Violet blues of Oaxaca.

From Noaa discussion.

A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
IS FORECAST BY ALL OF THE MODELS TO DIG SOUTHWARD OFF THE WEST
COAST OF THE U.S. AND BAJA CALIFORNIA...WHICH SHOULD ACT TO ERODE
THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE RIDGE. AS THE STEERING FLOW WEAKENS...
FRANK IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY TURN NORTHWARD AND POSSIBLY BEGIN
RECURVATURE TO THE NORTHEAST AS A WEAKENING TROPICAL STORM.

I read this that it could pass over the southern Baja as a tropical storm which would give us rain hopefully.

Jimena was a major hurricane when she about 400 miles from us. This storm is only predicted to be a cat 1 at the most.

I, also, hope I am right!

I am thinking about it. I come north about 1x a year or so. i have spent a bunch of time on the Hoko river...my favorite little river. I used to drive out from Montana for college spring break and camp and fish the hoko for a week.

Awe the good old days!!


Hoko River! Great silver action!




I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Frank could buttonhook like Jimena, but track further south. It isn't carrying a big volume of rain. Mulege will be spared. La Paz and East Cape could get it, but will not be devastating.

It sure has gathered some clouds compared to earlier. Don't forget to turn them on, middle-right.
Click on Pacific Hurricanes at top too.

Hurricanes feed on heat. They'll increase in power over warm water and weaken over cold water. Never underestimate them.

Time to button up the hatches if you haven't done so yet.

Looking at the sea surface temps in the SOC. It appears that water temp rose about 3-4 degress in this week, at least off the central eastcape region.

Gawd. You'd think that with the technology we have today we could have a better handle on this stuff, rather than dueling computer models. Got my fingers and toes crossed.
