Early weather forecasts suggest that a tropical storm beginning to develop now in the eastern Pacific off the southern Mexican coast might follow the same sort of path blazed in 1997 by Hurricane Nora and travel up the Sea of Cortez and enter the U.S. at the mouth of the Colorado River Valley in about a week, on or around September 13th, and continue north.
Nora was a big disappointment in the tropical storm department. Cold water and all that interference by land masses took its toll, so it basically wimped out once it reached the U.S. deserts. This storm is likely to do the same, for the same reasons. Still, it may be interesting! It might cause atypically wet weather in Las Vegas around September 15th.
