Jova Comes Ashore in Mexico

Hurricane Jova came ashore near Mexico’s Pacific resort of Manzanillo, packing a punch with winds of 85 miles per hour, the National Hurricane Center said.

The storm, which lashed the region with heavy rain and high surf, was 80 miles northwest of Manzanillo and moving north at 9 mph, the center said today in a 2 a.m. PDT advisory.

A “dangerous storm surge” will bring life-threatening waves and coastal flooding to the area while weakening over land, the Miami-based center said. Rainfall totals may reach as much as 20 inches in Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco states.

West of Jova and at sea, Tropical Storm Irwin regained strength with winds of 40 mph. Irwin is about 555 miles from the southern tip of Baja California. It is forecast to weaken again to a tropical depression and dissipate over the Pacific.

The center is also monitoring a tropical depression bearing 35 mph winds that formed just south of Mexico’s Gulf of Tehuantepec near the Guatemala border that may become a tropical storm later today and move inland tonight.

British Open Weather: Cloudy with a Chance of Anything

The weather forecast for this week's British Open at Royal St. George's on England's southeastern tip is about what you would expect, some rain on Tuesday, a bit of wind to whip up interest Wednesday and a mix of sunshine and showers once play gets under way on Thursday morning.

On Wednesday, the wind gusted to more than 30 mph on a cloudy, cool day, turning par-3s into driver holes and showing the importance of patience, persistence and a grind-it-out mind-set when the weather turns, as it always seems to do at these seaside courses.

"The guy who can scrap it around and make pars from off the green, hole some long putts ... especially when it's very tough like it was today, that's the key to playing well," Luke Donald, the world's top-ranked player, said after his practice round

Once again the recipe for surviving the weather; one word, patience.
