Hurricane Lorena threatens heavy rain, possible flooding to the US Southwest
Hurricane Lorena was undergoing weakening in the Pacific Ocean as a Category 1 storm the morning of Sept. 4 but is still poised to bring heavy rainfall and the chance of flash flooding to parts of the Southwestern United States, forecasters said.
Lorena, which formed into a hurricane on Sept. 3, is expected to have the greatest impact to land in the Baja California Sur and Sonora, Mexico, regions through Sept. 5. Bands of heavy rainfall from Lorena could bring 4 to 8 inches of rainfall Sept. 4 and 5, with totals topping out at about 15 inches from the storm. Flash flooding and mudslides are a risk, the National Hurricane Center said.
In the U.S., 1 to 3 inches of rain are expected across portions of Arizona and New Mexico, with some isolated totals of 5 inches, bringing a chance of isolated to scattered flash flooding, forecasters said.

Hurricane Lorena was located 105 miles west-southwest of Cabo San Lazaro, Mexico, and just over 500 miles from the Mexico-Arizona border. It was moving northwest with winds of 80 mph and is expected to make a north to northeastward turn later Sept. 4. It will move parallel to the west coast of the Baja California peninsula and approach the coast of Baja California Sur the night of Sept. 4 through the night of Sept. 5, forecasters predict.
"Although Lorena is forecast to rapidly weaken, abundant moisture will continue to stream northeastward away from the cyclone," the National Hurricane Center said on Sept. 4.
