PHOENIX (AZFamily) — No, a hurricane is not coming to Arizona. Don’t let the internet trolls try to scare you. Hurricane Lorena is moving up the west coast of the Baja Peninsula, fueling a monsoon surge into Arizona.

It has winds of 80 miles an hour, but as it moves north into colder water and begins to move inland on the peninsula, it’s expected to start to weaken. In fact, no hurricane warnings are posted along the coast in Mexico, though Tropical Storm Warnings are up.

As the storm continues toward a possible glancing blow through southeast Arizona, it will only be a tropical depression with winds of 25 mph. There’s never been a hurricane that made landfall in Arizona. Download the First Alert Weather App
