Talk about Stupid comments Surabi your number one . We ride our
dirt bikes no leaking oil no more noise then a car . The tires we use you cant tell we where there the next day . We ride and enjoy too bad for Baja

No more noise than a car, neither of which should be driving through unpopulated natural areas. And whether or not your tire tracks can be seen has
nothing to do with the creatures you disturb and run over that are too small to see, their nesting grounds, etc.
But those are obviously not things you care about as long as you "ride and enjoy".

Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center public advisory from 2 AM has this to say about rainfall, certainly the most closely watched component of
this storm:
RAINFALL: Bands of heavy rainfall will continue to impact Baja
California Sur and move into southeastern Baja California and
southwestern Sonora by Thursday, with this rainfall potentially
persisting through Friday. Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with
maximum amounts of 15 inches, are possible across portions of Baja
California Sur and far southeast Baja California through Friday.
This will bring the risk of life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides, especially in areas of higher terrain.

I apologize for even mentioning off-road!
Now can we please stay on topic about the storm systems affecting Baja?
(or start a new thread?)

Hurricane Lorena Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122025
200 PM MST Wed Sep 03 2025
Lorena could still intensify for another 6-12 hours while it remains
over warm water and in low wind shear conditions. By 18 hours, the
hurricane is expected to cross the 26C sea-surface temperature
isotherm while southwesterly wind shear also begins to significantly
increase. These conditions are expected to lead to rapid weakening
beginning by Thursday afternoon. Only minor adjustments were made
to the official intensity forecast. The official forecast is at the
high end of the intensity guidance through 24 hours, and then lies
closer to the middle of the guidance envelope thereafter.
The track guidance hasn't changed too much, but the TVCE, GFEX, and
other consensus models are a bit faster with the northeastward
motion beyond 36 h, and the NHC track was sped up a bit after that
time. Otherwise, only minor changes were made to the NHC track
forecast. It should be noted that several models indicate a farther
left track, with dissipation over water without making landfall.
This scenario is possible if the hurricane rapidly weakens by
Thursday night and starts to decouple due to the aforementioned
increasing southwesterly shear. Regardless of which track scenario
pans out, there is very high confidence that heavy rainfall amounts
leading to significant flooding will occur in Baja California Sur,
especially since the southwesterly upper-level winds favor deep
convection to the right side of Lorena.

California Sur and southwestern Sonora through Friday. This will bring the risk of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of

Sinaloa north and northeast into portions of Arizona and southern New Mexico through Saturday afternoon, bringing the potential for isolated to
scattered flash flooding.

Windy vs the other models
Even now (Wed evening) Windy is showing the storm center staying west of Baja, then slowly falling apart. Presumably, prevailing wind shear will then
carry copious quantities of rain northeastward all the way to the mainland.
I hope that their model is correct...rain with less wind would be great.
I'm looking forward to some reports from anyone that is down there right now, particularly about potential flood damage.

Windy spits out model runs without human interpretation. You can select which model is shown. Windy is ok for predicting next 24 hours, but is
unreliable for forecasting a few days out…
NHC narrative explains that the western/offshore dissipation of the hurricane is likely only if the storm rapidly weakens after it enters cooler water
and shear tomorrow…
Woke!

Just Zoomed with a friend in SJD who said they'd gotten lots of rain all night, typical local flooding with not much wind damage.
Plus, a bunch of minor earth tremors! She said the epicenter was fairly local, around Querencia.

So it`s Windy vs NHC!! Stay tuned! Let`s hope a good portion of southern and central Baja gets needed hydration without the floods. Many years ago, I
had a conversation with a guy who had a place south of San Felipe. He rode out a hurricane there. He said it was terrifying. He had an empty Home
Depot bucket in his yard that overflowed! Probably about 20 years ago.
