DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 300 PM MDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Blanca was
located near latitude 21.3 North, longitude 111.0 West.  Blanca is
moving toward the north-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue for 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 to 70 mph (110 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during the next 48
hours, and Blanca is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression
by Monday afternoon or evening.

Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km)
from the center.  A sustained wind of 46 mph (74 km/h) was reported
at the Cabo San Lucas International Airport about two hours ago.

The minimum central pressure estimated from Air Force Hurricane
Hunter data is 980 mb (28.94 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are occurring over the southern
portion of the warning area.  Tropical storm conditions should
spread northward elsewhere within the warning area later today and
Monday.

RAINFALL:  Blanca is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
3 to 5 inches over much of Baja California Sur and the southern half
of the state of Baja California, with isolated maximum amounts of 10
inches over Baja California Sur.  These rains could produce
life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.  Rainfall associated
with Blanca may begin to affect portions of the southwestern United
States on Tuesday.

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 currents.  For
additional information, please consult products from your local
weather office.
