Hurricane Lorena intensifies off the western coast of Mexico; remnants of storm headed to Arizona

Hurricane Lorena is intensifying with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph and expected to bring up to 15 inches of rain, raising flood and mudslide risks in Baja California.

  • On Wednesday, Hurricane Lorena intensified off Mexico's Baja California peninsula, prompting an expanded tropical storm warning for parts of Baja California Sur's west coast.
  • The National Hurricane Center said rapid strengthening was forecast through Wednesday, while forecasters expected Hurricane Lorena to weaken as it neared the Baja California peninsula on Thursday and Friday.
  • Lorena had maximum sustained winds near 80 mph and was moving northwest at 16 mph, with officials warning the deluge could trigger life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in higher terrain on the Baja California peninsula.
  • Forecasters say remnants of Lorena could boost rainfall in Arizona from late Wednesday through Friday, with a Flood Watch issued for central and southeast Arizona including metro Phoenix and possible flash flooding through Friday.
  • Hurricane Lorena is the 12th named storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane season despite NOAA's below-normal forecast, while Hurricane Kiko remains a Category 2 storm with 110 mph winds about 1,665 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii; experts noted Lorena's track uncertainty, possibly avoiding landfall.
