MORE CUT & PASTE BLAH BLAH...
Tropical Depression Nine-E strengthened into Tropical Storm Ivo on Friday morning to the south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Some slight strengthening is expected into the weekend as Ivo (EE-voh) heads north-northwestward between an area of high pressure over the central
United States and a dip in the jet stream along the West Coast. This will keep the center of Ivo on a track to the west of Mexico's Baja peninsula.
However, given the large size of the storm, tropical storm watches and warnings have been issued for parts of the central and southern Baja peninsula,
including Cabo San Lucas.
Eventually, Ivo will track over cooler water and into a more stable air mass less supportive of maintaining deep thunderstorms. This will cause the
storm to degenerate into a remnant low on Sunday.
That said, Ivo will have an impact on the southwestern United States.
The large-scale weather pattern will help draw Ivo's moisture northward into the Desert Southwest and enhance rainfall across the region late in the
weekend into early next week.
Depending on the intensity and duration of the rainfall in any one location, we could see flooding in parts of western Arizona, southeast California,
southern Nevada and southern Utah.
Las Vegas, Yuma, Ariz., Blythe, Calif. and St. George, Utah are a few of the cities that will need to be alert for this flooding potential,
particularly from Saturday night into Monday.

Just back from our ride and just in the knicka! Super dark clouds in the mountains.
Erosion at the beach, no river in the arroyo(yet), pangeros pulling their boats, one boat in the marina with a shredded Bimini top(who would leave one
up in a storm?), lotsa new potholes, what else...no mucho
From the sat pix I have looked at, for us, I would say that tonight will be dicey!
Hold on, I'm coming said Ivo......And Sam & Dave.
Edit to add
By dicey, I mean too much rain. We live outside on our porch so when it rains everything has to come into our small house.
I am not afraid for my safety.

The Nightly News out of Mexico City just did a public service announcement of Tropical Storm Ivo.
The wind has picked up tonight, still consistently from the east, you can hear it howling up on the roof. Its still hot, but its a dry heat-- very odd
for Mulege even at times preceeding storms.
We shall see if it stays out west or runs up the peninsula mountains like last year. That's what brings Mulege all the flooding.

La Ribera, here in East Cape caught 1.25 inches of rain last night at our house. We were awakened each time a storm rain band passed over and gave us
short but loud torrential downpours on our tin roof.
It's far from over but so far all our dirt streets show some damage but no big washouts that I can see in the early bright. If we see the propane
trucks from SJ driving around selling gas, we'll know the road is open through the arroyos enough for at least truck traffic. We've been cut off
before -- 13 days is the longest I can remember. We were eating spaghetti with spaghetti.

Mexitron, it's really sketchy trying to outrun a storm out there, "where the streets have no names!"

We have 1-2 mph of wind and had .04" of rain overnight. I am hoping that we get a little more rain, but I'm seeing patches of blue sky here.
