Tropical Storm Rosa moved nearer to Baja California on Monday morning.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Rosa was located at latitude 27.5\u00b0N and longitude 116.5\u00b0W which put it about 90 miles (145 km) west-southwest of Punta Eugenia, Mexico.\u00a0 Rosa was moving toward the north-northeast at 12 m.p.h. (19 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. (95 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb.<\/p>\n
A Tropical Storm Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Punta Abreojos to Cabo San Quintin, Mexico.\u00a0 A Tropical Storm Watch was in effect for the portion of the coast from Bahia de los Angeles to San Felipe, Mexico.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Rosa was weakening as it approached the coast of Baja California.\u00a0 Rosa was moving over water where the Sea Surface Temperature was near 23\u00b0C.\u00a0 An upper level low west of California was producing southwesterly winds which were blowing toward the top of the circulation.\u00a0 Those winds were causing significant vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The effects of cool water and vertical shear were causing most of the stronger thunderstorms to occur northeast of the center of circulation.\u00a0 Bands south and west of the center consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.<\/p>\n
The center of Tropical Storm Rosa will reach northern Baja California in a few hours.\u00a0 Rosa will bring some gusty winds when when it reaches the coast, but the greater risk is locally heavy rainfall.\u00a0 Rosa could drop several inches of rain and flash floods could occur.\u00a0 The lower level part of Rosa’s circulation will weaken when it crosses Baja California.\u00a0 However, the upper low west of California will steer the middle and upper parts of Tropical Storm Rosa over the Southwestern U.S.\u00a0 Rosa, or its remnants, could drop locally heavy rain over that region during the next several days.\u00a0 Flash Flood Watches have been issued for southeastern California, eastern Nevada, western Arizona, and much of Utah.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere over the Eastern North Pacific, Tropical Storm Sergio was strengthening slowly south of Baja California.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Sergio was located at latitude 11.5\u00b0N and longitude 109.5\u00b0W which put it about 790 miles (1275 km) south of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Sergio was moving toward the west at 14 m.p.h. (22 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 70 m.p.h. (110 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 995 mb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
