Re: Genevieve
Thursday Midday Update
Genevieve just west of southern Baja
The Weather Situation
It is quite likely that Genevieve is not a hurricane any longer. IMO top sustained winds offshore are probably closer to 65 mph. The tropical cyclone continues to weaken over colder water. The main threat continues to be heavy rainfall, rough surf on the western Baja coast and winds gusting to tropical storm force.
