Lorena Downgraded to Tropical Storm Off Northwest Mexico Coast 22 September 2019

Lorena downgraded to tropical storm off northwest Mexico coast 22 September 2019 Lorena made landfall on Friday as a Category 1 hurricane at the tourist hot spot of Los Cabos, in Baja California. The US-based National Hurricane Center said Lorena was forecast to "cross the northwestern coast of mainland Mexico on Sunday" with rapid weakening anticipated thereafter. In Mexico's Baja California Sur, state authorities opened shelters, while the government in Sonora state closed several ports. Mexico's location makes it vulnerable to hurricanes on both its Pacific and Atlantic coasts.

With maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers (50 miles) per hour, the storm is expected to bring heavy rains to Baja California Sur and the neighboring state of Sinaloa as it moves north at 19 kilometers per hour, CONAGUA said. Lorena's center would again "make landfall on Saturday night or Sunday morning in Bahia Kino, Sonora," it added. "Landslides along with river and stream overflows that affect roads and highways could be recorded due to the rains, along with flooding in low-lying areas and saturation of drains in urban sites," the agency wrote in a bulletin.

HURRICANE LORENA (EP152019) 17–22 September 2019
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TROPICAL CYCLONE REPORT HURRICANE LORENA (EP152019) 17–22 September 2019 Lixion A. Avila National Hurricane Center 30 October 2019 GOES WEST GEOCOLOR IMAGE AT 1940 UTC 20 SEPTEMBER SHOWING HURRICANE LORENA APPROACHING BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR. Lorena was a category 1 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) that made landfall near Chamela-Cuixtala, Jalisco, and a second landfall near the town of La Ventana, Baja California Sur. Lorena then weakened and reached the coast of mainland Mexico just north of Guaymas as a broad area of low pressure and dissipated. Hurricane Lorena 2 Hurricane Lorena 17–22 SEPTEMBER 2019 SYNOPTIC HISTORY A tropical wave moved westward off the west coast of Africa on 4 September, accompanied by fairly well-organized convection with some cyclonic rotation in the middle levels of the atmosphere. The wave had a large envelope with two distinct convective areas. The two areas merged as the wave moved westward, but by the time the wave was crossing the Lesser Antilles around 13 September, the thunderstorm activity decreased significantly. The wave continued westward across the Caribbean Sea, and as soon as it crossed Central America between 15 and 16 September, the shower activity increased markedly and gained organization. In fact, although there was no well-defined center of circulation at that time, the disturbance was already producing tropical-storm-force winds late on 16 September. By 17 September, visible satellite imagery indicated that the disturbance had developed a well-defined center, and it is estimated that Tropical Storm Lorena formed at 0600 UTC 17 September about 290 n mi southeast of Acapulco.

Holocene Hurricane Deposits Eroded As Coastal Barriers from Andesite Sea Cliffs at Puerto Escondido
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Holocene Hurricane Deposits Eroded as Coastal Barriers from Andesite Sea Cliffs at Puerto Escondido (Baja California Sur, Mexico) Markes E. Johnson 1,* , Erlend M. Johnson 2, Rigoberto Guardado-France 3 and Jorge Ledesma-Vázquez 3 1 Geosciences Department, Williams College, Williamstown, MA 01267, USA 2 Anthropology Department, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA 70018, USA; [email protected] 3 Facultad de Ciencias Marinas, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Ensenada 22800, Baja California, Mexico; [email protected] (R.G.-F.); [email protected] (J.L.-V.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-413-597-2329 Received: 1 November 2019; Accepted: 22 January 2020; Published: 24 January 2020 Abstract: Previous studies on the role of hurricanes in Mexico’s Gulf of California examined coastal boulder deposits (CBDs) eroded from limestone and rhyolite sea cliffs. Sedimentary and volcanic in origin, these lithotypes are less extensively expressed as rocky shores than others in the overall distribution of gulf shores. Andesite that accumulated as serial volcanic flows during the Miocene constitutes by far the region’s most pervasive rocky shores. Here, we define a subgroup of structures called barrier boulder deposits (BBDs) that close off lagoons as a result of lateral transport from adjacent rocky shores subject to recurrent storm erosion. Hidden Harbor (Puerto Escondido) is the most famous natural harbor in all of Baja California. Accessed from a single narrow entrance, it is commodious in size (2.3 km2) and fully sheltered by outer andesite hills linked by two natural barriers. The average weight of embedded boulders in a succession of six samples tallied over a combined distance of 710 m ranges between 74 and 197 kg calculated on the basis of boulder volume and the specific gravity of andesite.

One of the main limitations is the lack of local stable isotopes monitoring for rainfall. Indeed, only two stations of the Global González, Blanca Carteño-Martinez, Juan Network of Isotopes in Precipitation operated in Mexico from 1962 to 1988. This study Carlos Aparicio-González, Dustin Mañón- reports temporal characterization of stable isotopes in meteoric waters in the northwest of Flores Mexico that has been lacking up to the present.
