Breaking surf, Acapulco, Mexico, at 7:30 am MST this morning. Acapulco is east-southeast of Beatriz.
Satellite IR image (above) from 1410 UTC this morning shows Beatriz along the coast of southern Mexico, with Hurricane Adrian off to the west.
This morning's forecast for Beatriz (from NHC - below) indicaes the storm will hug the coast and then turn westward just south of Baja. If the storm turns westward, it will likely trigger a surge of low-level moisture up the GoC. This push of moisture would likely reach into southern Arizona by Monday or early Tuesday next week. There is some chance that this moisture would lead to thunderstorms and the start of our summer rainy season here in southeastern Arizona. Definitely something to watch during the long, Holiday weekend.
