Tropical storm Javier has brought strong wind gusts and heavy rainfall to Baja California Sur on Monday, and tropical storm conditions are expected to continue into Tuesday.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the western and eastern coasts of Baja California Sur as Javier moves to the northwest. The center of Javier is expected to skirt the coast of Baja California through most of the week as the storm gradually weakens.
The strongest wind gusts are expected to reach speeds of 50 mph (80 kmh) and heavy rain will affect much of the area. Rainfall totals will range from 2-6 inches (50-150 mm), with locally higher amounts, particularly over the higher terrain.
With increased moisture extending into the Southwest, heavy rainfall is also expected to extend into Arizona and northern Mexico over several days.
