DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1200 AM MDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Genevieve
was located near latitude 23.9 North, longitude 113.8 West.
Genevieve is moving toward the west-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h),
and this general motion is expected to continue during the next few
days.  On the forecast track, the center of Genevieve will move
farther away from the Baja California peninsula.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Continued weakening is expected, and Genevieve
is forecast to become a tropical depression by tonight and a remnant
low on Saturday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue within
the warning area in the southwestern Baja California peninsula
during the next few hours, especially over higher terrain.
 
RAINFALL:  Genevieve is expected to produce additional rainfall
amounts of 1 to 2 inches across southern Baja California Sur.
 
SURF:  Large swells produced by Genevieve are spreading northward
along the coast of the Baja California peninsula.  These swells are
