MIAMI — Lorena weakened to a remnant low Friday but forecasters emphasized a life-threatening risk of flash flooding and mudslides was still present for parts of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and the states of Sonora and Sinaloa.

Now a post-tropical storm, Lorena had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was stationary about 170 miles west of Cabo San Lazaro, Mexico.

Lorena was expected to weaken further and dissipate on Sunday, the weather agency said, but it could still bring isolated rainfall amounts up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) to parts of the Mexican states of Baja California Sur, Baja California, Sonora and Sinaloa. The risk of flash flooding and mudslides in those regions was expected to remain through Friday night.
