Hurricane Norbert followed by Tropical Storm Odile and Invest 9210.09.08

Norbert is moving ahead in roughly the expected path - it looks to the writer like the point of turning on to the Baja and cross it in direction mainland is a little bit more to the north as yesterday thus La Paz is no more in the direct predicted path. But as we all know, ones don’t need to be a seasoned Baja Nomad to know that Baja hurricanes do what they want…. well, I guess they do that everywhere, not only on the Baja Peninsula.

Further south we have 2 more systems, Tropical Storm Odile and Invest 92. Both are to far away and to “new” to get any predictions. We will keep an eye on them and report of course any changes that should be if interest for the Baja Sur

Hurricane Norbert the seventh!10.07.08

Hurricane Norbert
Norbert has strengthened into the seventh hurricane of the Eastern Pacific season as of 2 a.m. PDT Tuesday. Norbert’s top winds were estimated to be near 75 mph and was located about 585 miles south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and is moving to the west-northwest near 8 miles per hour, and this general motion is expected to continue over the next couple of days. Norbert could move toward Baja California later in the week or over the weekend, so interests there should monitor the progress of the system. Check out Norbert’s projected path.
