Linda is moving toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through Thursday with a gradual decrease in forward speed. Maximum sustained winds have weakened to near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher gusts. Linda is still a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Rapid weakening is expected during the next 48 hours, and Linda is forecast to become a tropical storm by Thursday morning. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km). Brief heavy squalls with wind gusts to tropical storm force, especially over higher terrain and in mountainous areas, could occur in some of the outer rainbands moving onshore the southern Baja California peninsula tonight. The estimated minimum central pressure is 959 mb (28.32 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Linda are affecting the coast of the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula. These swells are expected to spread northward during the next couple of days and are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. RAINFALL: Outer rainbands from Linda will affect portions of the southern Baja California peninsula tonight.
