DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Genevieve was
located near latitude 13.3 North, longitude 101.7 West.  Genevieve 
is moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph (30 km/h), and this 
general motion is expected to continue through tonight.  A 
northwestward motion with a gradual reduction in forward speed is 
expected to begin on Tuesday and continue through at least early 
Thursday.  On the forecast track, the center of Genevieve is 
expected to move parallel to but well offshore the coast of 
southwestern Mexico during the next few days.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Rapid strengthening is anticipated during the
next couple of days, and Genevieve is forecast to become a
hurricane later today and a major hurricane by Tuesday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Large swells produced by Genevieve will begin affecting
portions of the southern coast of Mexico today and will spread 
northward along the southwestern and west-central coast of Mexico 
to the Baja California peninsula through Wednesday.  These swells 
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current 
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
