DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1200 AM MDT (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Newton was located near latitude 28.0 North, longitude 111.9 West. Newton is moving toward the north near 17 mph (28 km/h), and a turn toward the north-northeast is expected later today. On the forecast track, the center of Newton will make landfall along the coast of northwestern Mexico in the hurricane warning area this morning. After landfall, the center of Newton will move inland over northwestern Mexico and move into southeastern Arizona by this afternoon. Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected before landfall in northwestern Mexico, with rapid weakening expected afterward. Newton is forecast to weaken to a tropical storm shortly after landfall, and dissipate by early Thursday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: For the Mexican mainland, hurricane conditions are expected within the hurricane warning during the next few hours, and preparations to protect life and property should be complete. Tropical storm conditions will continue spreading northward tonight within the warning area in northwestern Mexico. For the Baja California peninsula, tropical storm conditions will gradually subside during the next few hours. Tropical storm conditions could spread into portions of southeastern Arizona by this afternoon. RAINFALL: Newton is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 8 to 12 inches over the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, and 4 to 8 inches over northern Sinaloa and Sonora states through today. Isolated maximum amounts of 18 inches are possible in Baja California Sur. Moisture associated with Newton is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 3 inches with locally higher amounts over southeastern Arizona and southern New Mexico through Thursday. In all of these locations, heavy rain could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, especially in mountainous terrain. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding near and to the east of the track of the center within the hurricane warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Elsewhere, elevated water levels are expected in areas of onshore wind. SURF: Large swells generated by Newton are expected to affect the coast of southwestern Mexico through this morning, but will begin to subside later today. Large swells are occurring along the coast of Baja California Sur and should spread northward through the Gulf of California today. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
