| Hurricane Jimena Update 1100 EDT today |
| 2009-09-01 |
| An Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft has just reached the center...reporting that the central pressure has risen to 945 mb...and that the 700 mb flight-level winds are significantly lower than those measured yesterday. The initial intensity is lowered to 125 kt...and this could be generous The initial motion is wobbling between 325 and 330 degrees at about 10 kt. Jimena is forecast to continue in a general north-northwesterly direction during the next couple of days CaboStLucas is pretty much out of danger except for large waves but someplace on the w Baja coast is likely to get a direct hit; also, the rain shield may make it into s Ariz in 5 days or so |
