Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast over the 
next couple of days, and Kevin is expected to become a hurricane

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF:  Swells generated by Kevin are expected to begin affecting 
portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico on Sunday, and spread 
northward to the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula 
coast early next week.  These swells are likely to cause 
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult 
products from your local weather office.
