Tropical Storm Raymond Nears Southern Baja California Sur With Landfall Expected Within Hours

Forecasts of dangerous rain, strong winds, high surf prompt prevention zones with port limits.

Overview

  • At the 09:00 report, the center was about 170 km south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, moving north-northwest at 24 km/h with sustained winds near 65 km/h and gusts up to 85 km/h.
  • Conagua and the SMN say models indicate Raymond will come ashore in southern Baja California Sur within hours, potentially weakening to a tropical depression at landfall.
  • The system is expected to drop 75–150 mm of rain in southern Baja California Sur, central and eastern Sonora, and western and southern Chihuahua, with 50–75 mm in Durango, Sinaloa and Nayarit.
  • Forecasts call for coastal winds with gusts up to 60–80 km/h and wave heights of 2.5–3.5 meters in southern Baja California Sur, Sinaloa and Nayarit, and 1.5–2.5 meters off western Baja California.
  • Prevention zones for tropical-storm effects are active from Los Barriles to Santa Fe and for the Islas Marías, with authorities urging residents to monitor official updates and avoid maritime and coastal activities due to flood and landslide risks.
