Tropical Depression Simon continues to slowly spin down after earlier becoming the eighth major hurricane and sixth Category 4 hurricane of the 2014 Eastern Pacific hurricane season.
Simon continues to churn northeastward less than 100 miles off the central Baja California coast. It will continue to lose strength over colder water, likely becoming a remnant low before it ever makes landfall Tuesday night or early Wednesday.
Large swells, high surf and rip currents will continue along the Baja coast, as well as some beaches of Southern California (for at least the third time this season) through Tuesday before subsiding.
First, heavy rainfall will spread into the central and northern Baja peninsula, then into northwest Mexico's Sonora state. Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches may trigger flash flooding and mudslides.
Moisture from Simon, as well as lift from its leftover mid-level circulation, will spread clusters of slow-moving thunderstorms into parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado from late Tuesday through Friday.
