DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Linda was located
near latitude 18.8 North, longitude 112.8 West. Linda is moving
toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h).  This general motion
with a decrease in forward speed is expected during the next couple
of days.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 90 mph (150 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Slow weakening is forecast during the next day
or so, with a steadier weakening likely by Wednesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Linda are beginning to affect the coast
of the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula.  These
swells are expected to spread northward during the next couple of
days and are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
