Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 125 mph (205 km/h) with higher gusts. Linda is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity, due to a possible eyewall replacement, are possible through this evening. However, a steady weakening trend is forecast to commence soon. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 955 mb (28.20 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Linda are expected to affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and the southern and western coast of Baja California Sur over the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
