Our chances for rain are still fluctuating up and down, and right now they're down. Plus the possible arrival time seems to be moving up. At this point I would give lluvia (pronounced U - v - uh, with the accent on the U) no more than a 1 in 4 chance of hitting Maz, and more likely coming in late tonight rather than tomorrow.
Winter rain is rare and very unpredictable. However night rain is a Mazatlan staple, so this makes sense. In many Mexican resort areas your vacation can be ruined by the rain (see Cancun). However in Maz, the lluvia invariably comes at night. Usually very late around 1 or 2 A.M., and lasting to about dawn. Then like magic the sun breaks through, and by 10 A.M. things have dried off to the point you'd scarcely know a drop had fallen.
No matter how the next 36 hours plays out, wet or dry, by Tuesday this mini-front will have moved through. Then it's Fun, Fun, Sun until at least the end of the next week. Speaking of the end of the week, that's also when we should see the temperature moving back to our benchmark 80 degrees (27 C.) or over. In the meantime we have elevated humidity with only a mild breeze, so the air temperature is going to feel very, very pleasant.
The water temperature has gone down slightly again to about 73 or 74 (23.3 - 23.9 C.). However we don't have any prospects for blustery winds to up well the water, and this dropping trend looks to be a temporary phenomena. The prospects look good for the ocean to stay in the current temperature range.
