Satellite images indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Outer rain bands north of Bonnie’s track will bring periods of heavy showers into portions of southern Mexico through Monday night. These bands are expected to produce between 1 and 3 inches of rain across southern Oaxaca and Guerrero, with locally higher totals along the southernmost coastal areas in Oaxaca. SURF: Swells generated by Bonnie will affect portions of the coasts of Guatemala, and southern and 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.
