DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM PDT (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Elida was located
near latitude 22.1 North, longitude 115.4 West. Elida is moving
toward the west-northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this general 
motion should continue with some decrease in forward speed through 
Wednesday night.  A turn toward the northwest is expected on 
Thursday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Rapid weakening is expected to begin tonight as Elida moves 
over colder water, and the cyclone is expected to weaken to a 
tropical storm Wednesday or Wednesday night and degenerate to a 
remnant low Thursday or Thursday night.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles
(110 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Elida are expected to affect portions of
the coast of west-central Mexico and the southern Baja California
peninsula during the next day or two.  These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
