the northwest and north is expected this weekend, followed by a
slightly faster northeastward motion on Monday.
 
Satellite data show that maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph 
(100 km/h) with higher gusts.  Little change in strength is 
anticipated this weekend, but Lidia could become a hurricane early 
next week. 
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF:  Swells generated by Lidia will begin to affect the west coast
of Mexico and the Baja California peninsula today. These swells are 
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
