Tropical Storm Newton will continue to strengthen Monday, and is
expected to make landfall over the southern portion of Baja California
on Tuesday morning, likely as a Category 1
hurricane. It will then make a second landfall over northwest Mexico's
mainland late Tuesday into early Wednesday, before drifting into the
Southwest U.S.
A hurricane warning has been issued for Baja California Sur, from Puerto Cortes to San Evaristo, including Cabo San Lucas. A
tropical storm warning is in effect from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes,
north of Puerto Cortes to Punta Abreojos, north of San Evaristo to
Mulege, and from Bahia Tempehuaya to Bahia Kino. A hurricane watch
is in effect for areas north of Puerto Cortes to Cabo San Lazaro, as
well as areas north of San Evaristo to Loreto. A tropical storm
watch is in effect for areas north of Mulege to Bahia San Juan Bautista,
Mazlatan to south of Bahia Tempehuaya, and north of Bahio Kino to
Puerto Libertad.
After Newton makes landfall in northwest Mexico, it will continue on
northward into the Southwest U.S. as a tropical depression by Wednesday
night. Parts of Arizona and far western New Mexico, including
Tucson, Arizona, could pick up as much as 3 to 5 inches of rain from
Wednesday night into Thursday night.
