DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM PDT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Elida was located 
near latitude 23.0 North, longitude 117.7 West.  Elida is moving 
toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h). A turn to the 
northwest along with some decrease in forward speed is expected to 
occur tonight. 
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher 
gusts.  Rapid weakening is expected during the next day or so as 
Elida moves over colder water, and the cyclone is forecast to weaken 
to a tropical storm today and degenerate to a remnant low on 
Thursday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles
(95 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 988 mb (29.18 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.
