Lorena's remnant low slowed down, and nearly stalled, over the central Baja Peninsula Friday. Moisture from now Post- Tropical Cyclone Lorena will be pulled to the northeast across the lower Four Corners and Texas through the rest of the weekend.

Flash flooding is the primary concern, though a few strong thunderstorms are possible along with gusty winds that could create blowing dust.

Flood potential is expected to gradually shift east to Texas through the weekend, with much of the Four Corners clear of the flood risk by Sunday.

Today, moisture gets pulled far enough to the south and east that flood chances should taper off farther west and north, such as the Sierra or the deserts of California.
