OH boy, CNN says that no one lives on the coastlines where Jimena is going ashore and that the only places that are going to really be affected are
inland......... well sheesh
Thinking of you all..... stay safe!

HURRICANE JIMENA DISCUSSION NUMBER 19
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP132009
200 AM PDT WED SEP 02 2009
THE SATELLITE PRESENTATION OF JIMENA APPEARED TO BE DETERIORATING
SIGNIFICANTLY SEVERAL HOURS AGO...BUT RECENTLY A NEW CONVECTIVE
BAND HAS DEVELOPED THAT WRAPS AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE
CIRCULATION. RECENT TRMM PASSES AT 2340 UTC AND 0612 UTC SUGGEST
THAT A MID-LEVEL CENTER OF CIRCULATION WAS SHED OFF TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST BUT THAT THE LOW-LEVEL CLOUD PATTERN REMAINS LARGELY
SYMMETRIC. DVORAK T-NUMBERS HAVE CONTINUED TO DECREASE...AND AN
AVERAGE OF THE SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE TECHNIQUES YIELDS AN
INITIAL INTENSITY OF 90 KT.
THE 0612 UTC TRMM OVERPASS INDICATED THAT THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER HAS
MOVED A LITTLE TO THE WEST OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRACK...AND THE
INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED AT 340/11. THE MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND SHOWS THE CENTER OF JIMENA
MOVING NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD VERY NEAR CABO SAN LAZARO. ONLY THE
UKMET IS AN OUTLIER BY SHOWING A MORE SUDDEN NORTHWARD TURN INLAND.
BEYOND 24 HOURS OR SO...THE NORTHWARD MOTION OF JIMENA IS EXPECTED
TO BE IMPEDED BY A MID-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE LOCATED OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. CONSEQUENTLY...THE MODEL ENVELOPE
SHOWS JIMENA SLOWING DOWN CONSIDERABLY BY 36-48 HOURS FOLLOWED BY A
SLOW WESTWARD DRIFT AT DAYS 3 AND 4. THE NEW OFFICIAL FORECAST IS
SLOWED DOWN AND SHIFTED SOUTHWEST FROM THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND NOW
INDICATES A SLOW WESTWARD TURN BEYOND 48 HOURS.
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO DECREASE AS JIMENA MOVES
NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD PARALLEL TO THE BAJA COAST...AND THE
THERMOCLINE ALONG THAT PART OF THE COAST IS VERY SHALLOW DUE TO
NORMAL COASTAL UPWELLING. COMBINED WITH POSSIBLE LAND
INTERACTION...THIS IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE JIMENA TO CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. HOWEVER...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST
STILL SHOWS JIMENA MOVING INLAND AS A HURRICANE. ONCE
INLAND...WESTERLY UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN
CONSIDERABLY...AND JIMENA SHOULD SPIN DOWN TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
BY 48 HOURS AND A REMNANT LOW BY 72 HOURS. THE NEW FORECAST SHOWS
DISSIPATION BY DAY 5 SINCE MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODEL FIELDS LOSE THE
SURFACE CIRCULATION BY THEN.
INTERESTS IN THE HURRICANE WARNING AREA ARE ADVISED THAT STRONG
WINDS WILL PRECEDE THE ARRIVAL OF THE CENTER BY SEVERAL HOURS...SO
PREPARATIONS NEED TO BE COMPLETED VERY SOON. REMEMBER NOT TO FOCUS
ON THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK SINCE DANGEROUS IMPACTS EXTEND SOME
DISTANCE FROM THE CENTER. THE FORECAST TRACK OF JIMENA IS ALMOST
PARALLEL TO THE COAST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA...AND SMALL DEVIATIONS
LEFT OR RIGHT OF THE TRACK COULD RESULT IN LARGE ERRORS IN BOTH THE
LOCATION AND TIMING OF LANDFALL.
FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS
INITIAL 02/0900Z 23.9N 111.9W 90 KT
12HR VT 02/1800Z 25.3N 112.5W 80 KT
24HR VT 03/0600Z 26.6N 113.0W 65 KT...ON THE BAJA COAST
36HR VT 03/1800Z 27.4N 113.5W 45 KT...INLAND
48HR VT 04/0600Z 27.7N 113.9W 30 KT...INLAND
72HR VT 05/0600Z 27.7N 114.5W 25 KT...REMNANT LOW INLAND
96HR VT 06/0600Z 27.5N 115.0W 20 KT...REMNANT LOW
120HR VT 07/0600Z...DISSIPATED

The satellite map I'm getting now looks like it is going to cross over, look out Loreto & Mulege. It doesn't seem as strong as the images show.

For those of you who wondered about the Beach club and their generator and diesel fouling the water: Looks like that area made it above ground.
Our Courtyard came through with just debris.
We still have some angry clouds hanging out in the distance and a good breeze going. I'm proud of the Palapa - Yea, it made it!

buenos dias todos...I am so happy for all of you down south who escaped danger and losses....hurray! We currently have wind about 15 knots from the
southeast(I had to get up and take the tent down but managed a pretty good sleep last night in it)...very cool clouds everywhere...some blue sky
peeking through...rained a few drops last night....only problem is that if it goes inland and swings back on us, the wind and rain will come from the
opposite direction....which means all our nicely boarded up windows will be on the wrong side and all our unsecured windows will be exposed...dang.
We are still tying roofs and garages down today just in case.

buenos dias todos...I am so happy the south enders didnt suffer much damage or losses...except some serious anxiety perhaps.
This morning we have 15 knots of wind from the southeast and stunning clouds with blue sky peeking through.
Only problem might be that if Jimena goes in and comes out to sea here...all our nicely boarded windows will be on the wrong side to help stem the
rain and the uncovered windows will be exposed....sheesh.
We'll see what happens but sure am glad she's weakening, wobbling and stalling...she hasnt dropped all her rain yet though and hopefully doesnt stall
over mulege for long.
Kevin is looking forward to kayaking down Rio Benito Juarez at sunset!
have a great day all.

Hola Nomads, Everything Ok here in Buena Vista, just some water run off & ruts.
Any road reports on Hiway 1 north or south ? I live near the hiway here & have not seen a simi truck since yesterday about 4pm. No fuel tankers,
buses or beer trucks.
Hope everyone has a safe time as the storm makes it's way north !
