DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Bud was located
near latitude 16.0 North, longitude 104.9 West. Bud is moving toward
the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h) and this general motion with a
gradual decrease in forward speed is expected through Wednesday.
On the forecast track, the core of Bud and its stronger winds
are expected to remain offshore of the southwestern coast of
mainland Mexico during the next few days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Bud is forecast to strengthen rapidly during the
next 24 hours or so, but slow weakening is expected to begin by late
Monday or early Tuesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles
(220 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 984 mb (29.06 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Bud is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 3 to 6 inches across much of southwestern Mexico, with isolated
maximum amounts of 10 inches into Tuesday afternoon. These rains
could cause life-threatening flash floods and landslides.

SURF:  Swells generated by Bud will continue to affect portions of
the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area
beginning Monday afternoon.
