DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Aletta was located
near latitude 16.4 North, longitude 113.1 West.  Aletta is moving
toward the west-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h).  A motion toward the
northwest is expected for the remainder of today and tonight,
followed by a gradual turn to the west by Sunday night and Monday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 100 mph (155 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional rapid weakening is expected during
the next several days, with Aletta expected to weaken to a tropical
storm by Sunday morning and to degenerate to a remnant low by
Tuesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles
(150 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 973 mb (28.74 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Aletta will affect portions of the coast
of west-central mainland Mexico and the west coast of Baja
California Sur through the weekend.  Swells are expected to build
even higher along these areas early next week due to another weather
system to the east of Aletta.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
