HURRICANE SIMON DISCUSSION NUMBER 17
200 PM PDT SUN OCT 05 2014
...Simon is likely to become a tropical
depression in 36 hours and a remnant low by 48 hours, before it
reaches the Baja California peninsula. Forecast fields from the
global models indicate that the cyclone will have dissipated over
northwestern Mexico by day 4, which is indicated in the official
forecast.
The model guidance is in relatively good agreement on the future track of
Simon, but there continues to be disagreement on how fast Simon or
its remnants reach the Baja California peninsula. For example, the
GFS and ECMWF solutions are about 24 hours apart on when they bring
the center of Simon to the coast. The updated NHC track forecast
is a little faster than the previous one after 24 hours but is
relatively close to the multi-model consensus TVCE.
Even if Simon or its remnant circulation does not make it across the
rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, deep moisture
associated with the cyclone is expected to spread across the
northern Baja California peninsula, northwestern Mexico, and into
the U.S. Desert Southwest, which could trigger heavy rains in
those regions in a few days.
When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

We just drove from Loreto to El Rosario today, and other than a few sprinkles around Jesus Maria, it was good weather. It looks like we'll outrun
Simon.

Yep, it was raining all evening here in Mulege and up in the mountains to the west. Rain in town stopped about 9 pm tonight.
Two updates:
Word today came down from the mountain family in La Purisima: High-country goat ranchers above Purisima reported the high arroyos running hard today
with possibility of drainage arriving down to Mulege. They did not predict vast flooding in Mulege if the rain up there did not continue
through the night and into Monday.
10 pm. Word from town is that the far-western colonias and agricultural area of western Mulege are receiving water in the arroyo come down from the
mountains. No word if pre-emptive evacuation is taking place.

Mulegena, please update on river flow through the estero. I personally am hoping now the residual dirt is 'mud-flowed' out, the drainage will be more
effective. Only time, and unfortunately effect, can prove if worth its' works or not. Praise and protection wished to all .......

Yes, of course, I will update as I receive information. Rain in town has stopped now since about 9 pm.

I know you know, but this is just a tertiary storm that you've just had. The heavier moisture is 36 to 72 hours out, given 12. Just know, I'm

Thanks for your good will. All we Mulegin@s truly appreciate it.
We're also just a little edgy tonight as tertiary storm or no, it's what comes down the western arroyos that makes us antsy.
11 pm Update: The flow has reached the pilings under the bridge. It's not much, not fast, not deep, but it's there and making the river expand it's
edges just a bit. My friend Raffita Romero has posted a few pictures on his Facebook page. What a good guy he is.
As to the excavation I can't comment except to say that three weeks post-Odile the river is still running brown at out-going tide.
We'll see how the mountains handle things tonight. Let's hope we're safe & dry and all our dirt roads are still passable in the morning.

Dr. Jeff Master's blog, wunderground.com:
"Simon is expected to recurve to the northeast, and bring rains of 2" - 4" to the central coast of Mexico's Baja Peninsula as it dissipates near
landfall on Tuesday. Deep moisture from Simon will flow northeastward across Mainland Mexico and into the Southwest U.S. this week..."
Still a crapshoot, and wishing the best to all. Bottom line is, where Simon crosses will be lots of water, be it Cataviña, Mulege, or wherever
current travelers are headed south. All be wary; I wouldn't want to be headed through it. Please, leave a little extra 'travel-time' like in the
Olden Daze when one expected delays. This is still a potential BIG delay.

Thanks Mulegena. Got reports from San Bruno and Santa Rosalia that it was raining pretty hard. I am trying to haul down a travel trailer from
Phoenix so guess I will watch this a little bit maybe at Tecate or somewhere before I head across the desert.
