Hurricane Marie, a Category 1 storm, is pulling away from Baja California Sur and by Friday was located roughly 800 kilometers off the coast, moving west-northwest, the State Government reported through its Civil Protection Sub-secretariat. Even so, rainfall will continue across the state through the weekend.

According to the agency, rain is expected Friday mainly in the municipalities of Los Cabos, La Paz, Comondú and Loreto, while Saturday's precipitation will ease to accumulations of 50 to 75 millimeters. Winds will drop Friday, with gusts up to 60 kilometers per hour, and waves of 2 to 3 meters will begin to subside starting tonight.

The National Weather Service expects Marie could strengthen to Category 2 over the weekend without a major change in track, keeping it on a path away from the Sudcaliforniano coast.

For navigation, the port of La Paz is operating normally for all vessels and Pichilingue is running regularly. The ports of Adolfo López Mateos, San Carlos, San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas remain closed, and in Loreto navigation for small craft is still suspended.

On schools, classes in Los Cabos remain suspended Friday and will resume Monday, while in Comondú school activities returned to normal on Friday. Families should confirm the return to class through each city hall's official channels before Monday.

"We will maintain follow-up and coordination to immediately address any situation that arises," said Governor Víctor Manuel Castro Cosío.

The Pacific cyclone season runs from May to November, and on the peninsula the greatest risk is usually not the wind but the water rushing down urban arroyos and low crossings after the rain. Even as a system moves off, streambeds can stay charged for hours.

Civil Protection advises against crossing arroyos or flooded crossings with current even if the level looks low, moving vehicles out of flood-prone areas, keeping storm drains clear, and keeping documents, water and a battery radio on hand. In an emergency, the help line is 911.
