DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Genevieve was
located near latitude 14.3 North, longitude 103.0 West. Genevieve is
moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph (30 km/h), and this 
motion is expected to continue through tonight. A turn to the 
northwest and a decrease in forward speed is forecast to occur on 
Tuesday and continue through at least early Thursday.  On the 
forecast track, the center of Genevieve is expected to move parallel 
to but well offshore the coast of southwestern Mexico during the 
next couple of days.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Rapid strengthening if forecast to continue over the next 
day or so, and Genevieve is expected to become a major hurricane on 
Tuesday. A weakening trend should begin on Wednesday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles
(205 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 992 mb (29.30 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Large swells produced by Genevieve will begin affecting
portions of the southern coast of Mexico today and will spread
northward along the southwestern and west-central coast of Mexico
to the Baja California peninsula through Wednesday.  These swells
are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
