Tropical Storm Sergio brought rain to Baja California on Friday morning.\u00a0 At 8:00 a.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Storm Sergio was located at latitude 26.8\u00b0N and longitude 112.8\u00b0W which put it about 45 miles (75 km) southwest of Santa Rosalia, Mexico.\u00a0 Sergio was moving toward the northeast at 24 m.p.h. (39 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 998 mb.<\/p>\n
A Tropical Storm Warning was in effect for the west coast of Baja California from Punta Eugenia to Cabo San Lazaro, Mexico.\u00a0 A Tropical Storm Warning was also in effect for the east coast of Baja California from Bahia San Juan Bautista to Mulege, Mexico.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Sergio was weakening as it approached Baja California.\u00a0 An upper level trough was producing strong southwesterly winds which were blowing across the top of Tropical Storm Sergio.\u00a0 Those winds were causing strong vertical wind shear and they were in the process of blowing the middle and upper portions of the circulation northeast of the surface circulation.\u00a0 A combination of strong vertical wind shear and passage over mountains on Baja California will case Tropical Storm Sergio to weaken quickly.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Sergio will drop locally heavy rain over parts of Baja California and northern Mexico.\u00a0 The greatest risk from Sergio is the potential for the locally heavy rain to cause flash floods.\u00a0 The remnants of Tropical Storm Sergio could enhance rainfall in southeastern New Mexico, West Texas, and Oklahoma during the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
