Hurricane Watch for TS Henriette
A Hurricane Watch has issued for parts of Baja California Sur.
Looks like we're about to get some weather folks! Tropical Storm Henriette has crawled slowly to the NW today at less than 1/2 the speed the storm had just Saturday. The Tropical Storm is now located about 332 miles SE of Cabo San Lucas. Away from the interference of the mainland, the storm is forecast to become a hurricane in the next 12hrs. The storm is current forecast to strengthen to a Category 2 Hurricane before making landfall on the Pacific Coast of Baja California Sur.

Henriette is still moving very slowly and forecast models have been revising the track east with each passing forecast period. Only watches have been posted at this time, Henriette could still miss Baja. Preliminary Hurricane Preparations should be underway. Henriette is still a Tropical Storm but is forecast to become a Category 2 when making landfall. Most of the target area are forecast to have about 30 hours to prepare. Please do not become complacent in your hurricane preparations. This storm is still forecast to have the same intensity as our last three, Ignacio, Marty and John. Be prepared, stay calm and stay safe friends!
