In Baja California: Ensenada is expecting a mostly cloudy day Monday, clearing to partly cloudy Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will be in the low 70's today, warming to the mid 70's Tuesday and Wednesday. Late week shows clearing and temps warming back up into the low 80's by Friday. In Mexicali the forecast calls for partly cloudy through Wednesday with temperatures in the low 90's. Thursday will see clearing and warming into the weekend by a few degrees. In San Felipe the outlook is for mostly sunny today and Wednesday and totally sunny Tuesday and Thursday through the weekend. 

In Baja California Sur: Loreto should expect morning clouds Monday, then sunny through Wednesday. Partly cloudy will close out the week Thursday through the new week. In La Paz there forecast calls for partly cloudy Monday and Tuesday with sunny skies Wednesday and Thursday. Partly cloudy will ensue with spin-off from Hurricane Willa Friday into the weekend. Temperatures in La Paz will hover around the 90°F mark. In Los Cabos look for the chance of afternoon thunderstorms on Monday with partly cloudy skies every day of the week except Wednesday and Thursday, which will be sunny. Temperatures will range in the upper 80's Monday and Tuesday and cool to the low 80's to finish out the week. 

Tropical Watch: Down south near the Gulf of Tehuantepec we have Tropical Storm Vincente churning along the southern coast of mainland Mexico. The system isn't forecast to amount to much, in the shadow of Major Hurricane Willa. Vincente poses no threat to the Baja peninsula but will bring buckets of rain to the already saturated southern coast of Mexico. Of only mild concern is Major Hurricane Willa. Willa is forecast to make landfall at near Mazatlan late Tuesday or early Wednesday morning. The system will be dissipating over cooler waters and it appears Mazatlan itself may only see tropical storm force conditions. Here in Baja the effects will be limited to some cloudy days, large short period surf on south facing beaches (watch the undertow on Cabo's steep south beaches!) and the increased threat of afternoon thunderstorms at the extreme tip of the peninsula. 

Enjoy your day...
