Tropical Storm Ileana brought gusty winds and rain to the southern part of Baja California on Friday afternoon.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was located at latitude 22.7\u00b0N and longitude 109.4\u00b0W which put the center about 35 miles (55 km) east-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. \u00a0 Ileana was moving toward the north-northwest at 7 m.p.h. (11 km\/h). \u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 60 m.p.h. (9 km\/h). \u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb.<\/p>\n
