DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM PDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Elida was
located near latitude 18.9 North, longitude 123.3 West. Elida is
moving toward the north-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h), and this 
motion with some increase in forward speed is expected through  
much of the weekend. An eventual turn to the north is forecast to 
occur by late Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher 
gusts.  The system is expected to begin weakening later today with 
that weakening trend forecast to continue over the next few days as 
the storm moves over cooler waters. Elida is likely to become a 
post-tropical cyclone on Monday. 
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Elida will affect portions of the west
coast of the Baja California peninsula through the weekend. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
