Well, Norbert finally broke our 2-month dry-ish spell! We got 3.22" / 82mm yesterday until midnight in a series of light to moderate showers all day and night long. But then this morning it got quite a bit heavier and we got 4.25" / 108mm since midnight. That's over 1/2" per hour: a respectable rainfall rate. Storm total so far: 7.47" / 190mm! There's no big change in the paltry few rainfall forecast products I can find out there, except the Weather Underground now mentions 1-2" today, tonight and tomorrow (3-6" more to come?) I would agree that we have at least another day or two of wet weather coming, until Norbert is farther away. It looks like we'll be closer to reaching that 10" offshore rainfall peak than I would have thought. Be careful out there, especially if you have to drive on Highway 200; expect numerous rockfalls and downed limbs and bad potholes. Stay home until the road gets cleared if you can. I also don't have any other rainfall reports from Melaque/Barra or Manzanillo. Usually they get a lot more than we do, but maybe this time we are in the "sweet spot." And how about that cool-down? The outside temperature has hardly changed for the last 24 hours: about 75°F / 24°C. Almost chilly when you add the gusty breezes! Too bad we can't spread this coolness out to cover more of the summer... TS Norbert is following its predicted path and is well past us now. It will strengthen up to Cat 1 hurricane strength as is sweeps up the Pacific coast of Baja: http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/eastern-pacific/2014/Tropical-Storm-Norbert?map=5day  |
