- Advertisement - Hurricane Rosa intensifying, tomatoes, Bell peppers and cukes could be affected September 28, 2018 Hurricane Rosa is expected to hit Baja California, Mexico, early next week. Rosa is currently a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 125 miles per hour. Hurricane-force winds extend 35 miles out from the center, and tropical storm winds extend 115 miles out from the center. In addition to structure damage, the storm could produce harvest and quality issues for tomatoes, Bell peppers and cukes coming out of San Quintin, Baja California and Vizcaino, Baja California Sur. 1 / 2 The National Hurricane Center predicts that Hurricane Rosa will hit northern Baja California Monday or Tuesday (Oct. 1 or 2). As of now it is expected to come ashore somewhere near San Quintin, a major summer and fall growing region of shadehouse tomatoes, Bell peppers and cukes that ship out of San Diego. The growing region of Vizcaino in Baja California Sur, about 320 miles south of San Quintin, may also be susceptible to rain and wind. Tonight Michigan will experience the coldest night so far of the cold snap, with the minimum temperature getting down to 42. Minimum temps will be back into the 50s by Sunday, but then starting next Friday minimums will be back into the low 40s and will stay there for through weekend of the Oct. 6. The San Joaquin Valley and deserts of California and Arizona will begin to cool down from the 100-plus high temps starting Saturday in the valley and Sunday in the deserts. Temps will continue cooling throughout all next week and into the following weekend. Expect maximum temps to be in the low to mid 80s all week. There is a chance of rain throughout the regions on Monday and Tuesday as remnants of Hurricane Rosa come through. Perfect weather is expected in Florida and Georgia: maximum temps in the low 90s and minimum temps in the low 70s with slight chance of daily light showers. Product should be shipping out of this region soon enough, and quality should be good. The Weathermelon app offers consolidated lists of global growing regions for each commodity; a 10-day detail forecast for each region; current radar maps (U.S. only); estimated harvest start/end dates for each commodity; monthly average high/low temps for each region; and custom daily alerts for temperature, precipitation and severe weather based on 10-day forecasts.

Michael leaves USD15+ billion in economic damage; fourth-strongest US hurricane landfall on record . Multiple tropical cyclones impact Asia-Pacific as the financial toll reaches into the billions (USD) . Storms and flooding in Italy leaves dozens dead & widespread damage to property and forestry Hurricane Michael became the strongest tropical cyclone on record to strike the Florida Panhandle and the fourth strongest hurricane to strike the United States mainland, based on reliable data since 1851. At least 45 people were left dead in the U.S. Widespread wind and storm surge damage was incurred along the Florida Panhandle coast and additional wind and flood-related damage swept throughout parts of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. Total economic losses – including physical damage and net loss business interruption – was anticipated to exceed USD15 billion. Public and private insurers were likely to incur payouts topping USD8 billion. Rainfall from what would eventually become Hurricane Michael initially spawned flooding across multiple countries in Central America. Total economic damage minimally exceeded USD100 million. October also featured several significant typhoon events in Asia-Pacific. The most notable was Super Typhoon Yutu, which crossed through the Northern Mariana Islands as a powerful Category 5 storm with 180 mph (290 kph) winds. This made Yutu one of the strongest tropical cyclones to ever impact a U.S.

Hurricane Rosa Weakens Rapidly Off Mexico 29 September 2018
Hurricane Rosa weakens rapidly off Mexico 29 September 2018 floods caused by heavy rain in Mexico's Pacific coast states of Michoacan and Sinaloa. Another nine are missing. © 2018 AFP By Monday, Rosa is expected to reach Baja California, which borders the US state of California Hurricane Rosa rapidly lost strength off the coast of Mexico on Saturday as it moved towards Baja California, the US National Hurricane Center said. "Additional weakening is forecast," the Miami- based agency said, with Rosa expected to become a tropical storm by early Monday as it approaches central and northern Baja California, which adjoins the US state of California. Heavy rainfall is expected across the Baja peninsula as well as the southwestern United States, with the potential for life-threatening desert flash flooding and mountain landslides, the hurricane center said. Early Saturday, Rosa was about 625 miles (1,005 kilometers) south-southwest of Punta Eugenia with maximum sustained winds of around 100 miles per hour. Rosa is now a Category 2 hurricane, down from Thursday's ranking of Category 4 on the Saffir- Simpson scale which has a maximum of five.

Avila National Hurricane Center 1 23 July 2019 GOES 15 VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES OF ROSA NEAR ITS PEAK INTENSITY (LEFT) AND AS A TROPICAL STORM (RIGHT) APPROACHING THE BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA. IMAGES COURTESY FNMOC TC WEBPAGE. Rosa was a category 4 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) that weakened significantly due to wind shear and cold waters by the time it reached the Baja California peninsula. It caused minimal damage. 1 Original report dated 30 January 2019. This version corrects best track information in Table 1. Hurricane Rosa 2 Hurricane Rosa 25 SEPTEMBER–2 OCTOBER 2018 SYNOPTIC HISTORY Hovmӧeller diagrams of conventional infrared satellite imagery showed a large and vigorous tropical wave moving off the west coast of Africa on 6 September, and Hurricane Helene formed from this system and moved northwestward over the Atlantic. The parent wave continued westward with little associated weather across the tropical Atlantic while trailing the remnants of Tropical Storm Isaac. Once in the central Caribbean Sea, the wave interacted with a large mid- level trough and was very difficult to track. However, extrapolation suggests that the disturbance moved westward and reached the area just south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec on 22 September, when a marked increase in the convective organization occurred accompanied by the formation of a surface circulation, and a tropical depression developed at 0600 UTC 25 September about 350 n mi south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. The “best track” chart of the cyclone’s path is given in Fig.
