DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 600 PM MDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bud was
located near latitude 20.2 North, longitude 109.0 West. Bud is
moving toward the north-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h). A faster
northward motion is forecast on Thursday and Friday. On the forecast
track, the center of Bud is expected to cross southern Baja
California Sur late Thursday and move over the Gulf of California by
late Friday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher
gusts. Although slow weakening is expected during the next day or
so, Bud is forecast to still be a tropical storm when it reaches
southern Baja California Sur late Thursday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area by Thursday evening.

RAINFALL:  Bud is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts of
1 to 2 inches across much of southwestern Mexico through Thursday,
with isolated maximum amounts of 3 inches.  These rains could cause
life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.

Bud is also expected to produce 1 to 3 inches of rain with isolated
totals of 5 inches across southern portions of Baja California Sur
and Sonora in northwestern Mexico through Saturday.

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.
