Little change in strength is expected this evening, but Narda should begin to weaken late tonight and Tuesday as more of the circulation intersects with land. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. A wind gust to 43 mph (69 km/h) was recently measured by a private weather observing site in Paralelo Treinta y Ocho, Mexico, and a gust to 35 mph (56 km/h) was recently reported at the airport in Culiacan, Mexico. The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).

Chihuahua and western Durango...1 to 3 inches. Sonora...1 to 2 inches. Baja California Sur...Up to 1 inch. This rainfall will cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in mountainous terrain. SURF: Swells generated by Narda are affecting portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico.
