Beatriz is then expected to drift toward the west-northwest over the mouth of the Gulf of California Sunday and Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast, and Beatriz is expected to become a remnant low by early Monday. Dissipation could occur at any time. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).
