Humongous! This may affect travel north/south on La Careterra. Sea temperature would normally steer Adrian out to the west. Is there warm water up
in Baja Norte? Ocean temps/maps, por favor. I'm planning a trip north next week and don't want to play Hide & Seek! TioDavidE - 6-10-2011 at 09:40 AM
Westward Ho!
Upper level winds steering mechanism plus sub 80F water to the north is pointing the critter toward hawaii. In another few days watch for spinoff
clouds and moisture which may precipitate over the mountains.Cypress - 6-10-2011 at 12:22 PM
Yea, this one's going west-northwest. No sweat for Baja. Hawaii? Probably not. There's a lot of water between here and there.

Even in Baja Sur the ocean temp here at 26 latitude Pacific side has been fluctuating between 54-56 degrees. I'll go down and take it's temp after the
cold, damp fog lifts so I can see where I'm going. Between daily 30-40 mph dirt-blowing wind, pungent sewer-smelling red tide, and the numbing water
temp, it's still very much lovely spring conditions here. I'll go out on a limb and say we're safe from severe tropical activity coming close to here
for a while.

Wouldnt mind if some of Adrian's latent moisture finds a way to get over here to Sonora. Ranchers really need it.Eli - 6-11-2011 at 01:29 PM
Hook, Ditto for Baja.

Pretty amazing how fast it went from a Cat 4 to a TS, when this was supposed to be a rare annular hurricane. Those are supposed to be rather resistant
to colder water, wind shear and dry air masses.Bob H - 6-11-2011 at 05:27 PM
It's going to go out to sea!
MIAMI – Forecasters say Hurricane Adrian has weakened to a Category 2 storm off the Pacific coast of Mexico and is expected to stay offshore.
Forecasters say maximum sustained winds for the first hurricane of the 2011 season decreased Friday evening to about 110 mph (177 kph). It is expected
to weaken further over the next two days.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami predicts the storm's center will stay well offshore but will generate large swells that could affect the
southwestern coast of Mexico into the weekend.
The center of the storm was about 505 miles (813 km) south of the southern tip of Baja, Calif. It is moving west-northwest at 9 mph (14 kph).Bob H - 6-11-2011 at 05:32 PM
And, this looks like it will be a good thing for surfing conditions along the West coast of Baja, for sure!
