John is moving toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and a faster northwestward motion is forecast for the next few days.

Some strengthening is still possible and John could become a major hurricane tonight or early Wednesday. Steady weakening is expected to begin Wednesday night and continue into Friday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km). A wind gust to 52 mph (83 km/h) was recently reported on Socorro Island. The estimated minimum central pressure is 969 mb (28.62 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: John is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 2 inches over far southern Baja Sur, with isolated maximum amounts of 3 inches through Wednesday. SURF: Swells generated by John will affect portions of the coasts of southwestern Mexico and the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula 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.
