I’ll be a tad busy today so any on the spot “reporting” will be on the FB page as it’s easiest on me … so even if you do not have FB you should still be able to see the posts https://www.facebook.com/LiveCaboRadio/
Another place ppl might update is in a fb group the admins haven’t had a chance to approve new members for but the posts should still be visible … the page is locked down to admins only for posting or posts requiring approval as the members voted to keep it that way but there might be useful comments and stuff … https://www.facebook.com/groups/727074667339978/
This is the water vapor feed …
Stay dry, don’t play in the puddles, stay in if you can.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
———————-
At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bud was
located near latitude 21.7 North, longitude 109.6 West. Bud is
moving toward the north-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A faster
northward motion should begin later today. On the forecast track,
the center of Bud is expected to cross southern Baja California Sur
later today and move over the Gulf of California on Friday. The
weakening cyclone or its remnants are expected to move over mainland
Mexico by Friday night or early Saturday and then dissipate.
Maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Although weakening is expected, Bud is forecast to still be
a tropical storm when the center reaches southern Baja California
Sur later today, but is expected to weaken as the cyclone moves
across the peninsula. Bud should decay into a tropical depression
by Friday and become a remnant low while it moves inland over
mainland Mexico.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center. A Mexican Navy automatic weather station located
in the Port of Cabo San Lucas recently reported a sustained wind of
45 mph (72 km/h) and a gust to 61 mph (98 km/h).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
———————-
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring within the warning
area now, and those conditions will continue into this afternoon.
RAINFALL: Bud is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of rain with
isolated totals of 6 inches across southern portions of Baja
California Sur and southern Sonora in northwestern Mexico through
Saturday. These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods
and mud slides.
Bud is expected to produce additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches
across much of Sinaloa and Durango, with isolated maximum amounts
of 3 inches.
SURF: Swells generated by Bud will continue to affect portions of
the coast of southwestern Mexico, western mainland Mexico, and the
southern Baja California Peninsula during the next couple of days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
