DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM PDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Elida was 
located near latitude 17.1 North, longitude 121.9 West. Elida is 
moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h). A turn 
toward the northwest is expected later this evening, followed by a 
north-northwestward motion at a slightly faster forward speed by 
Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher 
gusts. A very limited window for strengthening remains possible, and 
Elida could become a strong tropical storm. Weakening is expected to 
start over the weekend and continue into early next week.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Elida will affect portions of the west
coast of the Baja California peninsula through this weekend. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
