    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Enrique was
    located near latitude 16.8 North, longitude 105.0 West. Enrique is
    moving toward the west-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h). The storm
    is forecast to gradually slow down and turn toward the northwest
    tonight or Sunday, and then continue on a northwesterly heading
    through Monday. On the forecast track, the core of Enrique is
    expected to remain offshore roughly parallel to the southwestern
    coast of Mexico during the next two to three days.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next day or
    so, and Enrique is forecast to become a category 2 hurricane by
    Sunday.

    Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from
    the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140
    miles (220 km).

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 988 mb (29.18 inches).

    WIND: Tropical storm conditions are likely occuring in the eastern
    portions of the warning area. These winds are expected to spread
    westward within the warning area tonight and through the weekend.
    Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area on Sunday.

    RAINFALL: Through Monday, Enrique is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 12 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 18
    inches over Colima and coastal sections of Michoacan and Jalisco in
    southwest Mexico. These amounts would likely produce life-
    threatening flash flooding and mudslides over portions of
    southwestern Mexico.

    SURF: Swells generated by Enrique will affect the southwestern
    coast of Mexico during the next few days. These swells are likely
    to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
    consult products from your local weather office.
