At 9AM Tropical Storm Javier was located near 22.0N 109.2W and was moving 310° @ 09kts. The Central barometric pressure was 999Mb and winds were 45kts with gusts to 55kts, making Javier a solid tropical storm. Tropical Storm force winds extend out 40 to 50 miles, on the eastern side of the system and 30 miles on the western side which means Javier remains a very small tropical cyclone. Twelve seas extend out 75 miles on the northeastern side of Javier and only 30 miles on the SE and NW side of the system. Javier is expected to track along the westeern coast of Baja California Sur through Thursday, when it will be reduced to a Tropical Depression as it nears the northern state of Baja California.
Javier is drawing thunderstorms that could be severe at times, west from the Mexican mainland . These will affect La Paz and the East Cape regions this morning, even before the arrival of the tropical cyclone. The Los Cabos region will begin to see showers and thunderstorms directly associated with Javier this morning.
