Baja California Weather

09AM MDT 07/01/08 A beautiful warm day across the peninsula today, with the exception of a few clouds (yellow arrow) which will drift over central Baja today. Winds in the Sea are forecast to be light, under 10kts from the south to SW through the forecast period.
The Eastern Pacific has it's first hurricane of 2008, Boris surprised the forecasters and achieve hurricane status last night. Hurricane Category 1 status is expected to be short lived however, as Boris should begin to diminish later today as it moves over colder waters.
A new systems looks like it will spin up to be our next tropical cyclone (magenta arrow) This system may become a tropical depression later today. It is currently forecast to move in a NW direction, bringing it closer to Baja than previous storms this season.
Right behind that, is another tropical wave (orange arrow) that is also showing signs of development. There are four additional tropical waves moving across the southern Caribbean at the moment. None of them have much potential for development in the Atlantic basin, so it is likely that all will make it to our basin in the next 10 days.
It could be a busy next few weeks in the Eastern Pacific Basin. Storms in July have come close enough to the peninsula to deliver rain and a little 'weather'. But the waters surrounding Baja are still too cold to support cyclonic activity and the earliest a tropical cyclone has made landfall in baja in Aug 15th.
