What time will Raymond make landfall? Flood alerts are on high in 7 states | LIVE Track

Raymond will bring waves up to 3.5 meters high, very strong winds and rains up to 150 millimeters.

Fabián Romaña, general coordinator of the National Meteorological Service (SMN), reported that  Raymond, still a tropical storm, is expected to make landfall this Saturday, October 11, between the municipalities of Los Cabos and La Paz, in Baja California  Sur. However, this will not be the only state affected, as Sonora will also experience very heavy rains.

The forecast indicates that storms caused by Raymond will produce 150 millimeters of rain:

  • Baja California Sur
  • Sonora

Of 75 millimeters of water in:

  • Chihuahua
  • Durango
  • Sinaloa
  • Nayarit

From 50 millimeters in:

  • Baja California

All forecasted rainfall could be accompanied by lightning; it will reduce visibility on stretches of roads and in urban areas; it could also cause  puddles, landslides, flooding, and rising river and stream levels  .

Cold front will also enter Baja California

Raymond will bring  waves of up to 3.5 meters high to the coasts of Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, and Nayarit; and waves of 1.5 to 2.5  meters high to the coasts of Baja California, so swimming, wading, and boating should be avoided along the coasts of these states. In addition to Raymond’s presence, a cold front will also move into Baja California.

Tropical Storm Raymond is located 175 km south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, as of 6:00 a.m., however,  “after noon and during the afternoon, the center of Raymond is expected to move over the municipalities of Los Cabos and La Paz,”  Fabián Romaña said in a forecast issued on social media.

After making landfall , “Raymond will enter the Gulf of California and begin its dissipation process,” said the General Coordinator of the Meteorological Service, who pointed out that with this new stage,  very intense rains will continue, but now for Sonora, throughout Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12.
