DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 800 PM PDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Linda was
located near latitude 25.0 North, longitude 117.7 West. Linda is
moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this motion
is expected to continue through Thursday night with a decrease in
forward speed. A turn toward the west-northwest is forecast on
Friday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during the next
48 hours, and Linda is forecast to become a tropical depression on
Thursday and weaken to a remnant low by Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 988 mb (29.18 inches).


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

RAINFALL:  Outer rainbands from Linda will affect portions of the
central Baja California peninsula through tonight.
