isolated totals of 6 inches across southern and eastern Sonora in
northwestern Mexico through Saturday.  These rains could cause
life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.  An additional 1 to 2
inches of rain are possible in southern portions of Baja California
Sur.

Remnant moisture from Bud is expected to produce 1 to 2 inches of
rain with isolated totals of 3 inches across the southwestern U.S.
into the southern and central Rockies through Saturday.  These
rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

WIND:  Wind gusts to tropical storm force are possible today along
the coast of mainland Mexico in northern Sinaloa and southern
Sonora states.

SURF:  Swells generated by Bud will continue to affect portions of
the coast of western mainland Mexico during the next day or so.
