At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Enrique was
located near latitude 19.6 North, longitude 106.0 West.  Enrique is
moving toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h).  A turn toward the

southwestern coast of Mexico tonight.
  
Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Little change in strength is expected 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 975 mb (28.80 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 will continue within portions of the tropical storm
warning through Monday.  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
