DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 300 PM MDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bud was located near latitude 22.2 North, longitude 109.8 West. Bud is moving toward the north-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). A faster northward motion should begin later tonight. On the forecast track, the center of Bud is expected to cross southern Baja California Sur tonight and move over the Gulf of California on Friday. The weakening cyclone or its remnants are expected to move over mainland Mexico by Friday night or early Saturday and then dissipate. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Bud is forecast to still be a tropical storm when the center reaches southern Baja California Sur later today, but is expected to weaken as the cyclone moves across the peninsula. Bud should decay into a tropical depression by Friday and become a remnant low while it moves inland over mainland Mexico. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) from the center. During the past few hours, a Mexican Navy automatic weather station located in the Port of Cabo San Lucas reported a sustained wind of 58 mph (93 km/h) a gust to 69 mph (111 km/h). More recently, a Mexican Conagua weather station in Cabo San Lucas reported a sustained wind of 40 mph (64 km/h) and a gust to 47 mph (76 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring within the warning area now, and those conditions will continue into tonight. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the Baja California Sur watch area tonight and continuing into Friday morning. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the mainland Mexico watch area beginning Friday morning and continuing into Friday evening. RAINFALL: Bud is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of rain with isolated totals of 6 inches across southern portions of Baja California Sur and southern and eastern Sonora in northwestern Mexico through Saturday. These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides. Bud is expected to produce additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches across much of Sinaloa and Durango, with isolated maximum amounts of 3 inches. SURF: Swells generated by Bud will continue to affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico, western mainland Mexico, and the southern Baja California Peninsula 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.
