DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Estelle was
located near latitude 18.0 North, longitude 111.1 West. Estelle is
moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this
general motion is expected to continue for the next few days.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some slight strengthening is possible during the next day or
so, but weakening is expected to begin around the middle of the
week.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km).  An automated Mexican Navy weather station on Socorro 
Island recently reported sustained winds of 46 mph (74 km/h) and 
gusts to 61 mph (98 km/h).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Estelle are affecting portions of the
coast of southwestern Mexico, west-central Mexico, and the southern
Baja California peninsula. These swells are likely to continue for
another day or so and could cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.
