Tropical storm Enrique would not affect Los Cabos and other tourist destinations in Baja California

Tropical storm Enrique drifted east of the tip of the Baja California peninsula, in Mexico, and will not directly impact tourist resorts in the area, amid forecasts that it will weaken to a tropical depression at some point on Wednesday.

The maximum sustained winds of Enrique fell to 65 km / h (40 mph) on Tuesday night, barely tropical storm, said the National Hurricane Center of the United States. Its vortex was about 80 miles (130 km) northeast of Cabo San Lucas, at the southern tip of Baja, and was moving northwest at 12 mph (19 km / h).

The Baja California Sur authorities closed the ports of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo to small vessels, as well as those of Los Barriles and La Paz. Los Cabos municipal authorities prepared to set up shelters in the event of flooding. Forecasters expect the storm to dump 1 to 2 inches (2 to 5 centimeters) of rain across the state, with isolated peaks of up to 4 inches (10 centimeters).

Enrique became the first hurricane of the Pacific season on Saturday, but remained at sea as it passed Cabo Corrientes, on Mexico’s southwestern coast, on Sunday, before heading for Baja California.
