At 09AM Tropical Storm Newton was located over land near 30.2N 111.3W and was moving 15° @ 16kts. Central barometric pressure was 994Mb and winds were 45kts with gusts to55kts, making Newton a solid Tropical Storm.Tropical Storm force winds extended out 60 to 90 miles only on the eastern side of the system Twelve foot seas extended out 120 only to the southwest over the Sea of Cortez.
Hurricane Newton is a rather larger system with tropical storm force winds affecting the entire width of the peninsula as it moves north. Much of Baja California Sur south of La Paz is currently without power, 98% of Cabo San Lucas was without electricity as of 9AM and cell phone service and internet was only restored about 10:30AM MDT.
The eye of Hurricane Newton was over Cabo San Lucas at 10:30PM Monday night and the system has worked north-northwestward through the night, battering the coastal areas from Cabo San Lucas north through Cerritos and to Todos Santos through the night. at 11AM in La Paz we were entering another period of winds to 50kts and heavy rain at times. In total we receive just over 2″ of rain at our station.
We have posted the Unysis plot of the path of Tropical Cyclone Newtom. There are a couple of significant positioning irregularities, including a sideways jump in the path of Newtwo just to the west of La Paz.
All highways are currently open in Baja California Sur. Watch for localized flooding and never be the first to cross a paved flooded area. Don’t cross a flooded unimproved crossing, it is just asking for trouble, wait it out.
Tropical Cyclone Newton is disspating. There will be no further updates to this page.
