DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Linda was located
near latitude 17.7 North, longitude 124.6 West. Linda is moving
just south of due west near 9 mph (15 km/h). A turn to the west and
then west-northwest is anticipated over the next several days.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 100 mph (155 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Only very gradual weakening is forecast over 
the next several days, and Linda is expected to remain a hurricane 
through Wednesday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 974 mb (28.77 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Linda are expected to gradually subside
along the western coast of Baja California Sur during the next day
or two.  However, additional longer-period swells not associated
with Linda are expected to reach the coasts of southwestern Mexico
and the west coast of the Baja California peninsula beginning
tonight into Tuesday, and these swells are likely to continue
causing life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
