Tropical Storm Paine is now curling toward Mexico's Baja California, weakening quickly, but spreading moisture into the Desert Southwest.
Although Paine is not forecast to make landfall as a tropical storm in the Baja peninsula, it could bring tropical storm-force winds to a portion of the coast. All tropical storm watches and warnings for the Baja have been discontinued by the national Hurricane Center.
Here's the latest from the National Hurricane Center:
- Paine was located about 165 miles southwest of Punta Eugenia, Mexico, as of late Tuesday morning.
- Paine should weaken to a remnant low by Wednesday.
- Paine's circulation center will never impact land directly before it fizzles.
- Some moisture from Paine is being drawn northward into the Southwest U.S. early this week by an upper-level low off the coast of California. This may lead to an uptick in shower and thunderstorm chances into Tuesday over far southern California and the Desert Southwest.
- Locally, 1 to 2 inches is possible over parts of the Desert Southwest. Flooding is not expected to be a widespread, serious threat, but cannot be ruled out in a few locations.
