DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 300 PM MDT (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Bud
was located near latitude 25.9 North, longitude 110.2 West.  The
post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north near 10 mph (17
km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through tonight.  On
the forecast track, the center of the remnant low is expected to
move inland over southern Sonora tonight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Gradual weakening is forecast, and Bud is expected to dissipate on
Saturday over the high terrain of the Mexican state of Sonora.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Bud is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of rain with
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.

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 through
tonight 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.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
