DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Carlos was located near latitude 17.9 North, longitude 104.7 West. Carlos is moving toward the northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through Wednesday night. A turn toward the north-northwest is forecast by Thursday. On the forecast track, Carlos should move parallel to and just offshore of the southwestern coast of Mexico over the next couple of days. However, only a small deviation to the northeast of the forecast track would bring the center of Carlos near the coast. Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (135 km/h) with higher gusts. Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, but Carlos could remain a hurricane through Wednesday. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the center, and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 987 mb (29.14 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area through Wednesday night. Hurricane conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area through Wednesday. RAINFALL: Carlos is expected to produce heavy rains in the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, Durango, and Sinaloa with rainfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches possible through Thursday morning. Isolated maximum amounts of 10 inches are also possible. These rains may produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, especially in areas of higher terrain. SURF: Swells associated with Carlos will continue to affect the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
