La Paz Update00:30 hrs MST, 06:30 UTC
La Paz, BCS, Mexico
Current Conditions: sky overcast, light drizzle; wind variable but favoring
ESE at 5 knots; barometer 1005 and falling; humidity 74%
Summary: So far there has been very little activity associated with
Hurricane Otis, other than increased humidity and the light rain. Areas
around La Paz have received some light to moderate showers in the past 24
hours, while other areas have remained virtually dry. Preparations for
severe weather should be completed by now, and should be left in place for
the next 24 hours or more. Low lying areas and arroyos should be avoided as
rain runoff from the mountains makes it's way to the sea. Electrical and
telephone service appears not to have be been affected.
