storm comming???

Bob and Susan - 9-20-2010 at 05:52 AM

people here are worried that this may move north...

must be wet down south :light:

Bob and Susan - 9-20-2010 at 05:54 AM

it's only 80 degrees but
the humidity is UP

Storm?

Russ - 9-20-2010 at 05:58 AM

Hope this hits the cool waters! I'm boarded up and almost outta here. I'll be checking in for reports from ya all.

It's awfully dry around here, hopefully we'll get some rain.

jorgie - 9-20-2010 at 06:48 AM

Russ what is the water temp diff between the west coast and the SOC ???

bajajudy - 9-20-2010 at 06:54 AM

Very overcast here
Calm as can be.
Sure looks like rain but I have been fooled before.

shari - 9-20-2010 at 07:08 AM

Hmmm....this looks like it may be the first real storm we might get this season. Yesterday's swim told me that the shore temps were a bit cooler than last week...probably a bit below 70 degrees...I bet the water temps on the other side are in the mid 80's....big difference.

hoping this little storm brings some warmer water..and....TUNA!!! for Woody.

DENNIS - 9-20-2010 at 07:22 AM

Don't forget to turn on the clouds.....middle/right:

No you don't! If we could get just a little rain, that would be nice, but NO BIG STORMS---please.

Michael,
I don't believe this is going to be anything like John or Jimena. And we do need the rain.

mulegemichael - 9-20-2010 at 09:21 AM

let's hope so van...3 outta 4 years is enough for awhile.

Believe me, I know what you're talking about. We got our share here in Nopolo, although not as bad as Marty.

maspacifico - 9-20-2010 at 10:26 AM

It's been raining pretty steadily since about 9 this morning. East Cape. No rain gauge, but the filthometer on the car says about 1/4 inch. Enough to get the layer of dirt wet, but not enough to wash it off. Very attractive if it stops now. This isn't the storm the weather service is tracking.

Cabo radar site works sometimes...until it rains hard!

Went to take the dog to the beach just in time to see a wall of wind and water coming. Closed the windows and brought radios in just as it hit. Filthometer says about half an inch and will now be unreliable....now have to read the interior collection gauges on the rich Corintian leather seats.

Eli - 9-20-2010 at 03:49 PM

I just got a message from my daugther, they are dancing in the rain in Los Barriles.

bajajudy - 9-20-2010 at 04:11 PM

Rain here too. pretty much straight down...very little wind
YIPPEEEEEEEE

Phil S - 9-20-2010 at 04:42 PM

Just talked with Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach a few minutes ago. Says it1's starting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope it will be mild rain, and pass on through without much wind.

maspacifico - 9-20-2010 at 04:44 PM

Weather service bulletin just bumped things up a notch warning Southern Baja.

No rain yet in El Centenario, despite the fact it rained for about half an hour in La Paz about 1-1:30 PM.

Rain

tehag - 9-20-2010 at 07:36 PM

Some fat drops here, but not enough to get real wet in. Maybe later, we sure need it here.

Sorry I didn't include the where last night. Today is ominous looking at sunrise. Wunderground says 50% chance of precip & thunder. Going to unplug stuff before I leave for the day.

Cypress - 9-21-2010 at 06:49 AM

A storm named Georgette is on the way.

monoloco - 9-21-2010 at 06:57 AM

We had a pretty heavy rain late yesterday afternoon and some nice gentle showers over night.

bajajudy - 9-21-2010 at 07:11 AM

Been raining off and on since last night...still no wind to speak of.
SWEET!

vandenberg - 9-21-2010 at 07:36 AM

Georgette is a small storm with relative minor winds. Appr. 39 mph. A mere breeze. It's the rain we need and there really is not much cloud cover to go with this storm.

But.....if I'm wrong and there is a deluge, I hope it will not aim for Mulege, like has happened the last few years. :no:

shari - 9-21-2010 at 09:33 AM

thanks for the onsite report Judy...it would be great to keep them coming for others who live further north to moniter...there are some rather nervous folks in the Mulege, Chivato area keeping a close eye on this.

Seems like Georgette is very well behaved so far...making the cows happy.

bajajudy - 9-21-2010 at 09:51 AM

The wind pushed our guanabana tree over which in turn tipped over our chicken cage. But nothing over 20, I would say. The rain has subsided and it is lightening up a bit. To the west is still pretty dark.

bajajudy - 9-21-2010 at 09:55 AM

9AM MDT TROPICAL STORM GEORGETTE MOVING NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD TOWARDS CABO SAN LUCAS...
THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO HAS ISSUED A TROPICAL STORM WARNING FOR SOUTHERN BAJA CALIFORNIA FROM AGUA BLANCA SOUTHWARD TO CABO SAN LUCAS ON THE WEST COAST...AND FROM BUENAVISTA SOUTHWARD TO CABO SAN LUCAS ON THE EAST COAST.

Tuesday, September 21, 2010 9:39 AM Tropical Storm Georgette is moving quickly northward about 30 miles south of Cabo San Lucas and is expected to make landfall very close to Los Cabos in a matter of hours. TS Georgette is just barely a Tropical Storm and is not forecast to strengthen significantly before making landfall. Heavy rains and strong winds are to be expected across much of the tip of the baja peninsula through the day today.

At 9AM Tropical Storm Georgette located near 22.5N 109.9W and is currently moving 335° at 8kts. Central barometric pressure is estimated at 1001Mb and winds are 35kts with gusts to 45kts, making Georgette just barely a tropical storm. Tropical storm force winds extend out 45 miles in all but the SW quadrant of this storm.

TS Georgette is forecast to make landfall this morning between Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos and move north across the peninsula just west of La Paz. Once over land the system is expected to lose its punch rapidly and be reduced to a tropical depression by late today. Since Georgette is over marginally warm waters no significant strengthening is expected before making landfall.

By late this evening Georgette should be reduced to a tropical depression and be located

Tropical Storm Georgette formed on the morning of September 21 from an area of disturbed weather that had moved WNW from mainland Mexico.

At 7AM the port captains of Cabo San Lucas and La Paz have officially closed the ports.

The next update to this information will follow the 12PM release from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida.

oxxo - 9-21-2010 at 11:26 AM

This morning, I recorded wind gusts to 35 mph in San Jose. Steady winds were 25 mph. I expect we got 3 to 4 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. At this time the storm appears to be breaking up in the east. At 12:30pm, winds are light and the ocean is starting to lay down.

Lots of local flooding in the San Lucas area. Not sure about San Jose.

bajajudy - 9-21-2010 at 12:18 PM

Just got dark again and it looks as if we will get some more rain.
We have not seen the wind that OXXO did. It is dead calm right now.
The seas here are still white capped and angry looking.

Eli - 9-21-2010 at 12:24 PM

ah Judy, every year you are my favorite weather reporter. THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oxxo - 9-21-2010 at 02:36 PM

Tues. 3:30pm

After a brief respite around noon, the wind has clocked 180 degrees form ESE to WNW. Average wind speed on my anemometer is 25 to 30mph this afternoon. Rain has been lighter this afternoon than this morning

Seas are almost flat compared to this morning because of the change in wind direction. Temperatures are in the mid to high 80's.

I live about 10 miles from Judy. Judy I bet you are happy with the new bridge! I drove on it for the first time last Sunday. What a difference! Is that a new PEMEX going up next door to you?

bajajudy - 9-21-2010 at 03:18 PM

10 miles can definitely make a difference. It has never gotten over 75 on my porch today. The seas are still angry. Looks like we are getting ready to get some more rain.

OXXO-shame on you for not stopping in.

Loreto

tehag - 9-21-2010 at 04:19 PM

Off and on light rain in Nopoló all morning, then heavier about 1:30 and we left for Loreto. Very light intermittent rain here since.

I dont have an anemometer

bajajudy - 9-21-2010 at 05:24 PM

So do any of you know what MPH it takes to blow a porta-toilet over.

That would be how strong it blew here :dudette:

monoloco - 9-21-2010 at 06:28 PM

We have been getting very heavy rain with strong westerly winds for the last 2-3 hours.

longlegsinlapaz - 9-21-2010 at 07:03 PM

BajaJudy, :lol:

bajabass - 9-21-2010 at 07:10 PM

Heck, that's 3 porta- poopers!

longlegsinlapaz - 9-21-2010 at 07:26 PM

Had breakfast at the Dock Restaurant in La Paz this AM & there was a steady stream of rigs with empty trailers waiting to pull smallish boats out of the marina. I thought that was overreaction based on the AM forecasts, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry!

monoloco - 9-22-2010 at 04:55 AM

Rained here all night, most likely several inches and still coming down pretty good. I'm sure that the arroyos are running and the road to Todos Santos is impassable. The electricity is off.

Bob and Susan - 9-22-2010 at 05:34 AM

today is wed...
lots of clouds, lightning and thunder
76 degrees outside at 6am

no rain here...maybe over at coyote
looks like the lightning is over there
it'll cool the rocks

first of the snowbirds have returned
they stated "the rest are on the way"

longlegsinlapaz - 9-22-2010 at 05:35 AM

Rain started sometime around midnight in Centenario & just stopped running out of my gargolas sometime around 5 AM. It's a refreshing 72 degrees outside at 6:30 AM local time, with absolutely no hint of any wind or breeze.

Bob and Susan - 9-22-2010 at 05:36 AM

looks like this thing should pass us
by 3pm this afternoon

invest1.jpg - 15kB

Pescador - 9-22-2010 at 06:11 AM

At 7:15 we have no rain but do have a lot of clouds at San Bruno with lots of clouds and activity east of San Marcos Island. If I had not put the boat in the garage, I would bet we would have had lots of rain.

monoloco - 9-22-2010 at 06:48 AM

The sat image doesn't show much over us now but it's still raining steadily here.

not a drop

mulege marv - 9-22-2010 at 07:06 AM

so far nada, zip, nothing, zero, cloudy and calm, great !!!

Bob and Susan - 9-22-2010 at 07:23 AM

we had a few drips
but no puddles

just enough to cool it off

mark today as the "change"

vandenberg - 9-22-2010 at 07:32 AM

Rain started here in Nopolo around 1.30 am and it rained of and on till around 5 am. Like the doctor ordered. at times very heavy, but mostly a good downpour. :yes:

Desert will be nice and green around here for the rest of the year. :yes:

Cochi - 9-22-2010 at 07:34 AM

Well, good things come to those who wait. It is raining heavily now at 9:25 but not a lot of wind. We will take any of these kind of storms that we can get.

elizabeth - 9-22-2010 at 08:21 AM

There was a heavy downpour for about 3 or 4 hours in the early morning here in Loreto...I don't know the times because I didn't look at the clock...it's quite cool now. Who would have thought that 80 degrees could feel cold!

Russ - 9-22-2010 at 02:28 PM

Sooooo...... it's afternoon and it's time for a storm update???

Pescador - 9-22-2010 at 04:14 PM

Rained pretty steady at Punta Chivato but no wind to speak of. Did the same thing here in San Bruno but now the sun is out and we are back up to 86 degrees with 71% humidity. The news was warning people in Sonora that they may have some pretty heavy rain over there and the reservoirs are already full, but Baja just got a little sprinkle.

Pompano - 9-22-2010 at 04:44 PM

If it's any consulation, it's raining Siamese and Dobermans here.

2500 miles north...as the snow goose flys... :rolleyes:

Glad to hear it turned into a non-event! :yes:

I've been through Juliette in 2001, Cabo. Saw what John and Miriam did to Mulege. :no:

Now my wife and son are down south, and I want to be there if a good one hits. Cross our fingers and say our prayers,"No Big Ones Please!". :no:

tehag - 9-22-2010 at 07:13 PM

Heard on the radio just now that they measured 30mm here from Georgette. That's nice but still a serious seasonal deficit.

BajaBlanca - 9-22-2010 at 07:14 PM

wow ..here in Bocana it was sooooooooooooo windy all day. cool. cloudy only in the morning. not a drop of rain.

I heard that 10 miles north of us in P Abreojos, it was calm and NO wind all day. Go figure.
