If Dora hits that cold water, it will fizzle out quickly.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

I believe that as soon as she hits the much colder water of the Baja coast, she will peter out in a hurry.

Looks like it is going to peter out before it does much good for us on the drought situation. I hope we get an 1-2" but not too optimistic. Went
swimming today and the water was "cold" It may portend things to come in September, however..

Calm & quiet w/ beautiful sunrise. Ocean is smooth w/small waves. Large, cumulus clouds marching by out to the south but no winds. Think the
cooler water knocked Dora out. Great water temps in mid 70s! Dodged a bullet, no?! Tio

Wow, what a disappointment. Hot, dry, south winds blowing all day and not a drop of rain from Dora. The puffy clouds were cool, however
