At 200 PM PDT (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Jova was located
near latitude 20.4 North, longitude 122.4 West. Jova is moving
toward the west-northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this general

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the

The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
