DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Enrique was
located near latitude 19.0 North, longitude 105.7 West. Enrique is
moving toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h). A turn toward the 
north-northwest and then northwest is expected to begin tonight. 
That general motion should continue thereafter for a few days. On 
the forecast track, the core of the hurricane, along with the 
strongest winds, are expected to pass near or just offshore 
of the southwestern coast of Mexico through tonight.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Little change in strength is expected through tonight.
Enrique is then forecast to begin weakening on Monday and continue
to weaken through early this week.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 977 mb (28.85 inches).

 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Hurricane Enrique can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5, WMO header WTPZ45
KNHC, and on the web at
www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep5.shtml?key_messages.
 
WIND:  Hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the 
Hurricane Warning area tonight or early Monday. Tropical storm 
conditions are occuring in portions of the warning area and will 
continue to spread northwestward within the warning area through 
tonight.  Hurricane conditions are possible in the Hurricane Watch 
area tonight.  Tropical storm conditions are possible in the 
Tropical Storm Watch area tonight and Monday.
 
RAINFALL:  Through Tuesday, the eastern outer bands of Enrique are
expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches with
isolated maximum amounts of 18 inches over Colima and coastal
sections of Jalisco, Michoacan, and northern Guerrero in southwest
Mexico. These amounts would likely produce life-threatening flash
flooding and mudslides over portions of southwestern Mexico.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Enrique will affect the southwestern
coast of Mexico during the next few days. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
