APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

HURRICANE WATCH

cane 3

Bud is now a tropical depression and currently moving away from Baja California Sur as it crosses the Gulf of California.

Moisture from Bud is expected to reach the southwestern United States late today through Saturday night and this should bring drought-easing rainfall.

In addition to Tropical Depression Bud, Tropical Depression 4-E is around 75 miles to the south of Acapulco, Mexico and moving to the north-northeast at 3 mph. This depression will continue to track northward and further organization of this feature is likely, and it should become Tropical Storm Carlotta in the next 12-24 hours. Carlotta will move into the southern coast of Mexico Saturday night or Sunday and will cause heavy rainfall, flash flooding and mudslides across southern portions of the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca starting on Friday and continuing through the weekend.
