at a slow forward speed should continue Saturday. On the forecast

southeast of the Baja California peninsula today and tonight, and
then pass near or or just south of the southern tip of the Baja
California peninsula late Friday and Friday night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher

Lorena is forecast to re-gain hurricane strength later today or
tonight.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
