There is a large area of thunderstorms covering a large portion of the middle Sea. The radio is crackling with boats desperately making it back to
shore in winds exceeding 30 knots thus far.
Be aware. Looks like it could extend over to Baja. Very large area.dtbushpilot - 7-12-2009 at 09:17 AM
Do you have a link to info? Thanks.....dtHook - 7-12-2009 at 09:21 AM
How would you like to out in that on a PWC?vandenberg - 7-12-2009 at 12:21 PM
Just a little rumbling and a few sprinkles here in Loreto as it went by.BajaBruno - 7-12-2009 at 12:25 PM
It looks like Conception Bay and Mulege are going to get the brunt of it---assuming I'm reading the sat photo correctly.Hook - 7-12-2009 at 12:32 PM
I wonder if this could dump rain in John proportions in the mountains west of Mulege?
I'd be keeping an eye on it if I lived along the river.Bob and Susan - 7-12-2009 at 01:17 PM

Black clouds and Thunder in Pescadero
HaciendaCerritos - 7-12-2009 at 01:27 PM
I don't think this has much to do with the Chubasco a little further North, but here at Cerritos Beach outside of Pescadero we're looking at black
clouds, little wind, no rain yet but lots of thunder. Looks menacing but hasn't stopped the surfers.
You all know me as katiejay99, I'm now manager of the Hacienda Cerritos and will be posting under this name for now on.Cypress - 7-12-2009 at 01:42 PM
So we're gonna freak out every time a squall blows thru?vandy - 7-12-2009 at 01:55 PM
Thanks! it looks like it's hitting Mulege, but leaving he East Cape aloneRuss - 7-12-2009 at 02:23 PM
Cypress, I might be a squall in spudsville but down here it's a perfectly good storm. Good training for the big one. Winds still 25+ skies are lighter
and I can see the peninsula now.
No rain and it sounds like a good Pacific side storm. Storm surf is only 3' on the beach in front of my casita.

Pretty good rain here for an hour or so, almost constant thunder, some wind, white caps, blew some dirt and leaves around. Ended 2ish. Maybe enough
water to kick the bloom into gear. Bad day for boating.Cypress - 7-12-2009 at 02:32 PM
"A perfectly good storm." Spudsville? Been thru more major storms than you can
dream of down along the MS/LA coast in the USA. They'd torq your little weather station and all it's attached to. Hope you survive this little squall.Bob and Susan - 7-12-2009 at 02:45 PM

you are correct! kept me busy yesterday I had a boat at Coronado that I was in contact via VHF and he never saw it coming until I told him about it.
that was at about 10am local Loreto time. My other boat was at Pulpito and stayed out on the water. They were close to shore fishing for yellowtail
it was a rough three hours back to Loreto. there were a LOT of people caught in that storm yesterday and it being a sunday lots of amateurs with
boats that are little used out there.
I do have video of the storm off Loreto and the satellite loops as well that I'm working with. pretty cool stuff.

WELL its 04:30 tuesday the 14th and we got another major chubasco off Loreto! raining like hell here now with huge lightning bolts over the water.drzura - 7-14-2009 at 04:17 AM
Wow.. Did that chubasco off Loreto just appear out of nowhere??fishbuck - 7-14-2009 at 04:23 AM
Ya, that's what Cubascos do! That's why they are so dangerous.
If the pangas had weather radar they could have seen it coming.
But I think the sudden wind is what gets you.Russ - 7-14-2009 at 05:44 AM

Raining intermittently over here. Huge dark mass off the coast headed directly here. No lightning yet.shari - 7-14-2009 at 06:50 AM
Whoa...those suckers come up quick outta nowhere! Please keep us posted east coasters...wonder if it will wander over to our side or just dump it's

my eyes have been on this since midnight and again at 0330 we're delaying the departures until about noon or 1300. water smooth but this thing is
still forming to the south and the east. very cool light show this morning and did ya catch that red sky in the morning, a real Abundio day from King
of the Moon's last scene.
