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. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 PM HST. $$ Forecaster Papin/Brown
