DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM PDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Elida was
located near latitude 23.7 North, longitude 119.6 West.  Elida is
moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h).  A
northwestward or north-northwestward motion at a slower forward
speed is expected to begin later today and continue through Friday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast, and Elida is 
expected to degenerate into a remnant low tonight.  The remnant low 
is then expected to dissipate by early Friday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Elida will continue to affect portions
of the west coast of the Baja California peninsula today and will
begin to subside tonight.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
