For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 300 PM MDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lidia was located near latitude 22.7 North, longitude 110.1 West. Lidia is moving toward the north-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue through Friday. A turn toward the northwest is expected Friday night. On the forecast track, the center of Lidia will pass near or over the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula during the next few hours, and then will move over the peninsula through Friday night. Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is possible this evening. Thereafter, weakening is forecast as the center moves over the Baja California peninsula. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km) mainly to the east of the center. Surface observations indicate that tropical-storm conditions are occurring over the southern end of the Baja California peninsula. The estimated minimum central pressure is 991 mb (29.27 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Lidia is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 8 to 12 inches across the Mexican states of Baja California Sur into Baja California and western Jalisco, with isolated maximum totals of 20 inches. In the Mexican states of Sinaloa, Nayarit, Colima, southern Michoacan, southern Sonora and central Jalisco, rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches are expected. These rains are expected to cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring over the southern portion of Baja California Sur at this time. These conditions should spread northward across the warning area tonight through Friday night. Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area during the next several hours. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area in mainland Mexico starting in the next several hours. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch areas Friday night or Saturday. Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds on the southern portion of Baja California Sur. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Lidia are affecting portions of the coast of southwestern and western Mexico and southern portions of Baja California Sur, and could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 600 PM MDT. Next complete advisory at 900 PM MDT. $$ Forecaster Beven
