Huracán en Camino

I can't believe no one is talking about this. A hurricane is most likely going to form up this weekend and smack right into Zihuatanejo on Monday. People should be taking precautions now.

The most recent update now has it hitting our coast later at night. This is what it will look like around 9PM next Monday night. I hate nighttime hurricanes!

The area needs rain. I would like to see it in another fashion than a hurricane. Oddly enough my surf forecast site does not confirm this hurricane.

Ditto

Thanks for the update, appreciate the warnings

I think it was two years ago when Hurricane Rick made landfall just north of Troncones at something like 4:00 a.m. we went two or three days without electricity. I hope we won’t be doing that again.

I remember Hurricane Pauline cruising past at this same weekend in October 1997. That was scary. The flashes of lightning were so frequent that night that I could see clearly for 10-15 seconds at a time.

Monday will be Canadian Thanksgiving. Here’s hoping we will be thankful for little damage.

If you're referring to TS Lidia, the latest info I find both from Weather Underground and U.S National Hurricane Center shows it making landfall well north of us (somewhere between PV and Mazatlan) on Monday/Tuesday. Is that the storm you're talking about?

I think that Rob is referring to the low pressure area that is near the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, is headed north, and has a high likelihood of becoming a tropical storm and possibly a hurricane.

If you look on the NOAA website, it is the amber-coloured X in the bottom right corner.

“An area of low pressure is centered about 250 miles southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Shower and thunderstorm activity is showing signs of becoming better organized. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for gradual development during the next several days, and a tropical depression is likely to form late this weekend or early next week. The disturbance is forecast to move slowly west-northwestward for the next two days, and then turn northward and move closer to the southern coast of Mexico on Sunday and Monday.

Regardless of development, this system could produce heavy rainfall along portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico through early next week and interests in this area should monitor the disturbance's progress.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.”

No, not Lidia. It has no name at the moment, but will likely become "Max".

I've been watching that system as well, but no one seems concerned about it at any of the major weather centers. What's up with that??
