(295 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 968 mb (28.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

southwestern Mexico and will reach the Pacific coast of the Baja
California peninsula and the southern Gulf of California later
today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and
rip current conditions. For additional information, please consult
products from your local weather office.
