Just the opposite. Almost assured of a good NE quad buzzsaw pass of the eyewall...

It is not going to miss anything... it is going to hit the expensive resorts north of the Los Cabos and the town of San Jose (where the airport is).

So I wonder why this storm is missing the forecast points and gone a lot more east than expected?

Yeah, same thing I was wondering. I watched the satellite loop and the eye cleared shifted more to the east.

I'll post an updated image later. A new episode of the Simpsons (Series 13 I think) is on now which takes priority. :wink:

Is there a chance that John could continue more north-northwest and brush past the waters off San Diego-Los Angeles?

They blew the track on this. Looks like it will go over land over the spine of Baja.

A slow mover will linger and smash wherever it hits on the east tip of Baja.
