DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Blas was
located near latitude 17.8 North, longitude 110.8 West. Blas is
moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h). A slow
westward to west-northwestward motion is forecast during the next
several days.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Further weakening is forecast, and Blas should 
degenerate into a remnant low early next week.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Blas will continue to affect the
southwest coast of Mexico and the southern portion of the
Baja California peninsula over the weekend. These swells are likely 
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please 
consult products from your local weather office.
