DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Linda was located
near latitude 17.7 North, longitude 125.4 West.  Linda is moving
toward the west near 9 mph (15 km/h).  A turn toward the 
west-northwest is expected by mid-week.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher 
gusts.  Slow weakening is forecast over the next several days, and 
Linda should 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 970 mb (28.65 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.
