DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Blanca was located
near latitude 20.5 North, longitude 111.0 West.  Blanca is moving
toward the north-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h) and this general
motion with a slight increase in forward speed is expected over
the next couple of days.  On the forecast track, the center of
Blanca will approach the southwest coast of the Baja California
peninsula later today, and move near or along the coast tonight and
Monday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased near 90 mph (150 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during the next 48
hours, and Blanca is expected to weaken to a tropical storm tonight
before it reaches the southwestern coast of the Baja California
peninsula.  Blanca is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression
by Monday evening.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 195 miles
(315 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 974 mb (28.77 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
southern portion of the warning area within a few hours, making
outside preparations difficult or dangerous.  Tropical storm
conditions will then spread northward elsewhere within the warning
area later today and Monday.  Hurricane conditions are possible in
the hurricane watch area later today and tonight.

RAINFALL:  Blanca is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
6 to 10 inches over much of Baja California Sur and the southern
half of the state of Baja California, with possible isolated
maximum amounts of 15 inches over Baja California Sur.  These rains
could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

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.
