Hurricane Jimena Update (1100am EDT) - Threat Much Less
The best estimate is that the surface center has passed near or over only lightly populated Cabo San Lazaro during the past few hours. The satellite presentation continues to slowly deteriorate...and based on this the initial intensity is reduced to 85 kt. The initial motion is now 345/11. All guidance agrees on a continued north-northwestward motion with deceleration during the next 24-36 hr. After that time...most of the guidance shows Jimena turning westward. Looks like minimal damage to Baja; some moisture will be injected into the SW by the wind field but other than that, little direct impact on US Posted by: lord garth 2009-09-02 |
