Genevieve is moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph (30 km/h). A west-northwestward motion with a slight decrease in forward speed is expected over the next couple of days, followed by a turn toward northwest around midweek. On the forecast track, the center of Genevieve is expected to move parallel to but well offshore the coast of southern Mexico during the next day or so. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is anticipated during the next couple of days, and Genevieve is forecast to become a hurricane on Monday and a major hurricane by Tuesday. 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 ---------------------- SURF: Large swells produced by Genevieve will begin affecting portions of the southern coast of Mexico on Monday and Tuesday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
