At 200 PM PDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Linda was

Thursday and weaken to a remnant low by Friday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Linda are affecting the Pacific coast of
the Baja California peninsula, and are expected to spread northward
into southern California during the next couple of days. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

RAINFALL:  Outer rainbands from Linda will affect portions of the
central Baja California peninsula through today.
