DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Genevieve was
located near latitude 16.0 North, longitude 105.3 West. Genevieve is
moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph (30 km/h), and this
motion is expected to continue through early Tuesday.  A turn to the
northwest with a decrease in forward speed is forecast to occur by
Tuesday afternoon 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 day or so. The center of the hurricane is forecast
to pass near or southwest of the southern portion of the Baja
California peninsula on Wednesday night and Thursday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 100 mph (160 km/h)
with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast to continue
during the next 24 to 36 hours, and Genevieve is expected to become
a major hurricane on Tuesday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140
miles (220 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch
area in the southern Baja California peninsula by Wednesday
afternoon.
 
SURF:  Large swells produced by Genevieve are affecting portions of
the southern coast of Mexico 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.
