However, heavy rainfall and rough surf conditions are still in store. As of 4 p.m. CDT, Tropical Storm Orlene was located near 23.6 N and 105.4 W, or 70 miles east-northeast of Mazatlan, Mexico. Orlene has maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. It was moving north-northeast at 9 mph and had a minimum central pressure of 1006 mb, or 29.71 inches of mercury. Although Orlene made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane near Mazatlan, Mexico this morning, it has rapidly weakened into a tropical depression throughout the day. Despite the weakening, Orlene is still offering heavy rains for southwest Mexico throughout today and Tuesday. Northern Nayarit and southern Sinaloa should expect 3 to 6 inches of rainfall, up to 10 inches in some areas. One to 3 inches is expected for southwest Durango, although some areas may see up to 5 inches. Flash flooding and landslides are a possible and dangerous threat to the regions, especially those with rugged terrain. Orlene continues to fuel life-threatening, dangerous surf conditions and swells. These conditions will continue to affect the southwestern coast of Mexico, southern portions of the Baja California peninsula, and the Gulf of California throughout the night. In an average year, 13 named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major Category 3 or stronger hurricanes have formed by October 1 in the Eastern Pacific. Orlene marks the 16th named storm and ninth hurricane of the season. So far, Bonnie and Darby have been the only two major hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific. Traditionally, the East Pacific Hurricane season, just like the Atlantic Hurricane Season, concludes at the end of November. Follow the latest developments on Orlene with WeatherBug early this week.
