Hurricane Flossie weakened rapidly on Wednesday evening as it moved over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean south of Baja California.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Hurricane Flossie was located at latitude 19.8\u00b0N and longitude 110.2\u00b0W which put the center about 215 miles (345 km) south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.\u00a0 Flossie was moving toward the northwest at 8 m.p.h. (13 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 75 m.p.h. (120 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 90 m.p.h. (145 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 986 mb.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Flossie was weakening rapidly on Wednesday evening as it moved over cooler water south of Baja California.\u00a0 Many of the thunderstorms in Flossie’s circulation were dissipating,\u00a0 The bands revolving around the center of Hurricane Flossie consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 The dissipation of the thunderstorms in Flossie greatly reduced the upper level divergence.\u00a0 Much less mass was being pumped away from Hurricane Flossie.\u00a0 The continued convergence of mass in the lower levels of Flossie’s circulation caused the surface pressure to increase quickly.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Hurricane Flossie was small.\u00a0 Winds to hurricane force extended out 25 miles (40 km) from the center of Flossie’s circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 70 miles (110 km) from the center of Hurricane Flossie.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Flossie will move through an environment that will be unfavorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Flossie will move over water where where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 23\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the middle of an upper level ridge over Mexico and the adjacent part of the Eastern North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The upper level winds are weak near the middle of the ridge and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Even though there will be little vertical wind shear, the cooler water south of Baja California will cause Hurricane Flossie to continue to weaken on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Flossie will move around the southwestern part of a high pressure system over Mexico.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer the Flossie toward the northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Hurricane Flossie will remain south of Baja California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
