HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for 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:  Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area over
southern portions of the Baja California Peninsula beginning
tonight.
 
RAINFALL: Enrique is expected to produce additional rainfall totals 
of 3 to 6 inches with maximum amounts of 10 inches across Sinola, 
western Durango and southern Chihuahua in western Mexico.  Rainfall 
totals of 2 to 4 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches 
are possible across the southern portions of Baja California Sur.  
Combined with the rain that had already fallen, these additional 
amounts may trigger new flash flooding and mudslides.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Enrique will affect the southwestern 
coast of Mexico, and portions of the Gulf of California and the 
coast of the southern Baja California Peninsula during the next 
couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening 
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your 
local weather office.
