DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Bud was located
near latitude 16.2 North, longitude 105.6 West. Bud is moving toward
the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h) and this general motion with a
gradual decrease in forward speed is expected through Wednesday. On
the forecast track, the core of Bud and its stronger winds are
expected to remain offshore of the southwestern coast of mainland
Mexico during the next few days.

Satellite images indicate that the maximum sustained winds have
increased to near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher gusts.  Bud is
forecast to continue strengthening for the next 24 hours or so, and
it could become a major hurricane later today.  Slow weakening is
expected to begin by early Tuesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140
miles (220 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.64 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Bud is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 3 to 6 inches across much of southwestern Mexico, with isolated
maximum amounts of 10 inches into Tuesday afternoon.  These rains
could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

SURF:  Swells generated by Bud will continue to affect portions of
the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area
beginning this afternoon.
