DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM MST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Priscilla was 
located near latitude 16.4 North, longitude 107.1 West. Priscilla is 
moving slowly toward the north-northwest near 3 mph (6 km/h) and 
this general motion at a slightly faster forward speed is expected 
over the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of the 
system is expected to move offshore of and parallel to the coast of 
southwestern Mexico through the early part of this week.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is expected during the 
next several days, and Priscilla is forecast to become a category 2 
hurricane later this week. 
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles
(280 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches).
