Tropical Storm Patricia headed for a drenching of Mexico’s Los Cabos resorts late Tuesday or Wednesday as it neared the tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The storm had winds of near 60 mph (95 kph) early Monday and slight strengthening was possible, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The winds were not projected to reach hurricane force of 74 mph (118 kph).
The storm was located about 140 miles (225 kilometers) south-southeast of the tourist-heavy tip of the Baja peninsula and it was moving toward the north at near 6 mph (9 kph). Mexico’s government declared a tropical storm warning for the southern portion of the desert peninsula, including Cabo San Lucas. Forecasters said it could dump 1 to 3 inches (25 to 75 millimeters) of rain on the region.
A tropical storm watch remains in effect for the Baja California peninsula along the East Coast from north of Buenavista to La Paz and along the West Coast from north of Agua Blanca to Santa Fe. A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 36 hours.
