DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Enrique was 
located near latitude 20.4 North, longitude 106.7 West. Enrique is 
moving toward the north-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h). A turn to the 
northwest is expected this afternoon with that motion expected to 
continue for the next few days. On the forecast track, the core of 
the hurricane, along with the strongest winds, will begin to move 
away from the southwestern coast of Mexico this afternoon. Enrique 
is then expected to move near or over portions of the southern Baja 
California Peninsula on Wednesday. 
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Weakening is forecasted over the next several days. Enrique 
is expected to weaken below hurricane intensity by tomorrow, but is 
still expected to be a tropical storm when it moves near the 
southern Baja California Peninsula on Wednesday. 
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles
(150 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 977 mb (28.85 inches).
