Strange how this source is still calling it a TS when it has been downgraded to a TD.

What could be very significant for the Mulege area is that this thing is really slowing down and could dump major rain.

Hi Russ, I'm up at this hour, too, as we just had a gully-washer, complete with lots of lightning, hit over here in Sonora. Tapering off now...........

But Lowell, in whatever form it is, is expected to make landfall over here on Friday.

CaboRon - 9-10-2008 at 05:48 AM

Gentle rain overnight is Todos Santos ...

Just started raining here 7:45. Totally socked in with what appears to be dark clouds. wind ENE @ 16mph. Rain guage says .51 in./hour but it's coming down harder now. .9 now....Bruce, been there and done that on the other post. Just thought this title was easier to ID. at a quick glance. Didn't mean to offend any one.
Sat went down for awhile while it poured for a half hour. Got 1.07". My guess is our road is out again at the estuary crossing at the minimum. Hope all is OK in Mulege.

vandenberg - 9-10-2008 at 07:42 AM

Russ,
Must be some local cell.
Nothing at all here in Loreto.
As a matter of fact, lots of blue sky.
Lowell is falling apart and it looks like Mulege and surrounding areas may be spared serious precip.
Most of it should stay to the south.
Hoping anyway.

Bruce R Leech - 9-10-2008 at 07:43 AM

it is just easier for everyone to get all the info on a subject if you don't need to open lots of threads on the same subject. if everyone starts there own thread on the same Storm then someone is going to mis some info.

akbear - 9-10-2008 at 07:52 AM

It's been raining off & on with light winds here in Los Barriles. They say it's going to get a little more intense this afternoon.

The problem Bruce, is that the other thread has become the bickering thread ..

This one will, hopefully stay with the weather reports.

Rain and wind really picked up about an hour ago.

It is now 1320 hrs in Todos Santos and ...

The rain is heavy and blowing sideways ...

Of what I could see from the in motion sat shots an band of rain from the other side (main land) came in just over the top of the Howell clouds this morning and only made it to the Mulege area. A friend, Julieta, came out this morning and was stopped by the washed out road at the estuary. She was totally surprised because there wasn't much rain in Santa Rosalia. So my thought is that tomorrow early morning to mid day we'll see what's left of Howell. A drizzle at most would be nice but that is very hopeful thinking. IMHO We should be hearing from Todo Santos soon.

Hook - 9-10-2008 at 04:57 PM

Latest predictions has Lowell turning east much faster than earlier estimates.

Mulege area is now OUT of the circle of probability in the latest prediction!

CaboRon - 9-10-2008 at 05:27 PM

Still raining here ...

Sometimes lightly and sometimes heavy ....

Juan heard on the radio that the highway around Constitucion & LOreto are washed out. Clear but windy here on the midwest coast.

amir - 9-10-2008 at 06:42 PM

Todos Santos 20:00 hrs Wednesday

Lowell's edge tickling Todos Santos on its way northeast. Intermittent rain and gusts of wind all day, now intensifying as it approaches landfall. Sky was dark before sunset and all is ready for a good bath.

Lowell in Loreto

bill erhardt - 9-10-2008 at 07:07 PM

Here is a photo of the malecon in Loreto taken at 7:15 p.m., about 45 minutes ago. There have been light showers throughout the day in Loreto, total accumulation less than half and inch, and no wind to speak of.

And looking up the arroyo south of el centro near the Sunday market. Just a trickle of water running in the arroyo.

Mulegena - 9-10-2008 at 07:43 PM

A beautiful sunset in Mulege. I think/hope its going to give us a miss.

Have a friend in Santa Rosalia who had to drive to La Paz this afternoon. Urged him not to go; he couldn't believe that 12 miles south it was raining with gully-washers. Wished him well on his unadvisable journey.

Be well tonight and tomorrow, Everyone!

Diver - 9-10-2008 at 09:33 PM

It looks like intermittent heavy rain will fall from Santa Rosalia south to Cabo tonight.

Hoping all is well in Mulege and elsewhere.

longlegsinlapaz - 9-10-2008 at 09:45 PM

10:45 PM La Paz area....been raining light to medium off & on most of the afternoon & evening. Totally calm with no rain at the moment.

Russ - 9-11-2008 at 04:43 AM

Russ - 9-11-2008 at 07:03 AM

Got Bug Spray? I think we'll need it. Sunny now and at 8am there are plenty of swarms of the nasty bitters. I was going to check on the neighbors homes but got chased back inside.

Diver - 9-11-2008 at 07:23 AM

Hello Mulege".
How are things near the river this morning ?
Hoping all is well.

Bob and Susan - 9-11-2008 at 07:27 AM

my "girl" said everything was "normal" in town

it rained hard yesterday but not last night

the red cross and the firemen were all prepared

they had the school in town all ready to accept people as a shelter
las night

going to town today
road is kinda of muddy

Mulege ok

Mulegena - 9-11-2008 at 09:10 AM

Lowell gave it a miss in these parts... whew!!

That storm had quite a south-eastward twist to it.

How did Cabo Pulmo/East Cape fare?
Can we get an eye-witness report or even second-hand?

Thanks, Everyone.

bajajudy - 9-11-2008 at 09:22 AM

Rain and some wind through the night
Very dark skies to the north but no rain so far this morning and no wind
I would guessimate that we had about 2" maybe more.
Road to San Jose open although I am sure that it is rough. Havent actually made the trip myself
All in all, Lowell has been a welcomed relief from the heat.

backninedan - 9-11-2008 at 09:56 AM

Lowell seems to be making some strange moves back to the south, with los cabos in a direct line.

Could this thing make a loop and hit us again?

shari - 9-11-2008 at 12:46 PM

this is all we got from Lowell...nice big swell...20 knots of wind...this is jetboy saluting Lowell in our front yard

Lowell has now reached Texas and is still droping rain:

Here is a quote from Yahoo News this morning ...

"Texans were getting hit from both sides, as the remnants of Tropical Storm Lowell, a Pacific system, dumped nearly 8 inches of rain on Lubbock in 24 hours, flooding homes and roads"
