DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 600 PM MDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Blanca was located near latitude 21.9 North, longitude 111.1 West. Blanca is moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 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 this evening, and move near or along the coast tonight and Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 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. During the past few hours, the Cabo San Lucas International Airport has reported sustained winds of 46 mph (74 km/h) and a gust to 49 mph (80 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure 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 this evening 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 will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. For additional information, please consult products from your local weather office.
