At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kevin was

moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this

with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the 
next 48 hours. A weakening trend is expected to begin by Wednesday 
evening.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center.  A wind gust to 44 mph (70 km/h) was recently 
measured by a Mexican Navy weather observation site on Clarion 
Island.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Kevin are affecting portions of the coast
of southwestern Mexico, and are expected to spread northward to the
coast of Baja California Sur today and Tuesday.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
