East Pac Ileana - Potential Coastal Baja threat -

While still listed as a 65 knot Cat 1, by all appearances, Ileana is already at least pushing Cat 2, and could readily become a major hurricane by morning. This hurricane may pose a serious threat to the southern and southwestern Baja, with Dr. Lyons already anticipating 15-20 foot waves in those areas.
Model guidance suggests that she may either:
1) Head northwest, well-away from land
2) Head just a little east of northwest, then more north-northwest, and possibly bring squally rainbands and hurricane-force winds onshore - along with high waves out to sea and possibly surge inland
3) A few models have strongly suggested that a still strong and powerful Ileana pushes right up the west coast of the Baja for a bit and/or right up inside the Gulf of Baja - such a strong tropical cyclone following either one of these routes could also impact Southern California and/or Arizona/Nevada with some rains and maybe some winds
