DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Linda was located
near latitude 18.6 North, longitude 122.0 West. Linda is moving
toward the west-southwest near 10 mph (17 km/h).  A turn back 
toward the west is forecast late Monday, followed by a 
west-northwestward turn by Tuesday evening.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Only gradual weakening is forecast during the next few
days, and Linda is expected to maintain hurricane strength through
Wednesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 969 mb (28.62 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.
