DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Blanca was located
near latitude 16.1 North, longitude 108.3 West.  Blanca is moving
toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this motion is
expected to continue through Saturday.  A turn toward the north-
northwest is forecast by Saturday evening.  On the forecast track,
the center of Blanca will approach the southern Baja California
peninsula on Sunday.

Satellite images indicate that maximum sustained winds have
increased to near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher gusts.  No
significant change in strength is expected through Saturday.
Weakening is forecast Saturday night and Sunday, and Blanca should
weaken to a tropical storm as it approaches the southern Baja
California peninsula.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center, and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 195
miles (315 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 971 mb (28.68 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area
by Sunday morning.

SURF:  Swells generated by Blanca are affecting the coast of
southwestern Mexico, the Pacific coast of the Baja California
peninsula, and the southern Gulf of California.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

weather office.
