Yes will be an interesting visit. We should be there in a 3 weeks for the next month after that. Might see some more heavy weather.

5:00 PDT

The NOAA site is down probably from excess traffic. The takeaway from the discussion is:

1) Nora’s course past 36 hours is uncertain.
2) Nora may interact with the Mexican mainland south of Baja Sur.
3) Nora may go up the gulf early next week. If it does HWY1 will take a beating in the Ligui - Santa Roselia area.
4) Anyone in LA Bay should be prepared if the storm goes up the gulf.
5) Areas as far north as San Felipe could receive heavy rain fall midweek. Hwy5 South of San Felipe could take a beating from heavy rain.

I will post a new map as soon as NOAA is back up.

Latest Nora Storm Track

3. Nora is forecast to move over the Gulf of California as a
hurricane early next week, bringing a risk of wind and rain impacts
to portions of the Mexican states of Baja California Sur, Sinaloa,
and Sonora. Given the above-average uncertainty in the forecast,
it is still too soon to determine the magnitude and location of
these potential impacts.

Nora vs Ida


Note how much larger Nora is. If it gets as far north as Baja Sur it could be a real rain producer.

The current track shows Nora bending closer to the mainland while churning up the Sea of Cortes.

2. Heavy rain associated with Nora is expected across the west coast
of Mexico from the Mexican states of Guerrero, northward to southern
Sonora, including Baja California Sur. This rain will likely
result in life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides across these
regions. Rainfall from Nora may spread into the southwestern U.S.
and central Rockies during the middle to latter portion of next
week.

3. Nora is forecast to continue moving northward over the Gulf of
California Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing a risk of wind impacts to
portions of the Mexican states of Baja California Sur, northern
Sinaloa, and Sonora. Given the above-average uncertainty in the
forecast intensity, confidence is not high enough to determine the
magnitude and location of these potential impacts.

Glad to see it bending East. We are headed down on Wednesday, I might need to upgrade to a 4x4 if the rains are heavy.

San Felipe needs rain bad, turn westward after Bahia de Los Angeles. Nice warm water up here in the northern part of the Cortez.

Be careful what you wish for. This looks like the real deal, going to be some serious storm damage and the possible loss of many lives.

I've had the pin placed here for a while now, both wind gust speeds and rainfall slowly declining.
