DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Eugene was
located near latitude 20.9 North, longitude 109.9 West. Eugene is
moving toward the northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h).  A turn to the 
west-northwest is expected later today, and that motion should 
continue through Monday.  On the forecast track, Eugene should pass 
to the south of the southern portion of the Baja California Sur 
today.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Continued strengthening is expected and 
Eugene could become a hurricane later today.  Weakening should 
begin by tonight.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: The outer edges of the rainfall pattern from Eugene may
produce storm total amounts of 1 to 2 inches along sections of the
southwestern Mexican states of Sinaloa, Jalisco, Nayarit, and
the southern portion of Baja California Sur.
 
SURF: Swells generated by Eugene will affect portions of the coasts
of west-central Mexico and Baja California Sur during the next day
or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and
rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
 
WIND: Gusty winds are likely across the southern portion of Baja
California Sur today.
