At 800 PM PDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Jova was located 
near latitude 21.1 North, longitude 123.7 West. Jova is moving 
toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h). A

slow down further and turn westward by late Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Additional weakening is likely. Jova is forecast 
to become a remnant low early next week. 
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the

(185 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 987 mb (29.15 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Jova are affecting the western coast of 
Mexico and are expected to reach portions of the coast of California 
tonight. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and 
rip current conditions through the weekend.  Please consult products 
from your local weather office.
