DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 800 PM PDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Fabio was
located near latitude 21.2 North, longitude 128.0 West.  Fabio is
moving toward the west-northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h).   The
tropical storm is forecast to continue moving west-northwestward at
a slower forward speed for the next couple of days, and then turn
toward the west by the end of the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast and Fabio is likely
to become a tropical depression tonight and degenerate into a
remnant low late Friday or early Saturday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

coasts of southern California and the Baja California Peninsula.

current conditions.  For additional information, please consult
