Tropical Storm Sergio prompted the issuance of warnings and watches for parts of Baja California on Wednesday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday the center of Tropical Storm Sergio was located at latitude 20.0\u00b0N and longitude 121.5\u00b0W which put it about 770 miles (1240 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Sergio was moving toward the northeast at 16 m.p.h. (26 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 65 m.p.h. (105 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 80 m.p.h. (130 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 992 mb.<\/p>\n
A Tropical Storm Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Punta Eugenia to Cabo San Lazaro, Mexico.\u00a0 A Tropical Storm Watch was in effect for the portion of the coast from Bahia San Juan Bautista to San Evaristo, Mexico.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Sergio weakened slightly on Wednesday, but the structure of the circulation remained well organized.\u00a0 A large clear area at the center of circulation was the remnant of the eye that existed when Sergio was a hurricane.\u00a0 The remnant of the eye was surrounded by a broken ring of thunderstorms and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storms.\u00a0 Several thin bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the core of Tropical Storm Sergio.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out about 140 miles (225 km) from the center of Sergio.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Sergio will move over cooler water on Thursday.\u00a0 An upper level trough west of California will produce southwesterly winds which will blow toward the top of the circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause moderate vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The combination of cooler water and more wind shear will cause Tropical Storm Sergio to weaken slowly.<\/p>\n
The upper level trough will steer Tropical Storm Sergio toward the northeast during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Sergio will reach Baja California on Thursday night.\u00a0 Sergio will bring gusty winds, but locally heavy rain is a greater risk because heavy rain could cause flash floods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
