Raymond’s Remnants Drench Northwest Mexico After Baja California Sur Landfall

Forecasts point to torrential rain in Sonora due to the system’s interaction with a cold front.

Overview

  • Conagua and the SMN reported Raymond made landfall near Cabo San Lucas as a post‑tropical system around 9:15 p.m. Saturday before its remnant circulation moved into the Gulf of California.
  • The SMN projects 150–250 mm of rain in parts of Sonora, with intense precipitation in Chihuahua and northern Sinaloa, and says widespread showers will continue into Monday across many states.
  • Authorities maintain alerts and deployments, including an azul alert for 15 municipalities in Sonora, 1,500 SEMAR personnel with 18 vessels, SEDENA’s Plan DN‑III with about 1,050 troops, and shelters prepared in Los Cabos.
  • Hazardous conditions persist along the Pacific and Gulf of California coasts with gusts up to 70–90 km/h and waves of roughly 2.5–3.5 meters, prompting warnings for navigation and coastal communities.
  • Initial impacts include flooding, road closures and school suspensions in several states, with Cajeme in Sonora reporting inundations and closures and authorities citing disruptions in Jalisco and Colima.
