HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Lorena can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP2 and WMO header WTPZ42 KNHC.

RAINFALL: Bands of heavy rainfall will continue to impact Baja
California Sur and move into southeastern Baja California and
southwestern Sonora by Thursday, with this rainfall potentially
persisting through Friday. Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with
maximum amounts of 15 inches, are possible across portions of Baja
California Sur, far southeast Baja California and southwestern
Sonora through Friday. This will bring the risk of life-threatening
flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of higher terrain.

Within the moisture surge ahead of Lorena, 1 to 3 inches of rain,
with localized totals up to 4 inches, are expected from the Mexico
states of Sinaloa northward into Arizona through Friday, bringing
the potential for isolated to scattered flash flooding.
