    ----------------------
    At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Estelle was
    located near latitude 14.2 North, longitude 104.4 West. Estelle is
    moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this
    general motion is expected to continue for the next few days.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
    gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next day or two, and
    Estelle is expected to become a hurricane by this evening and could
    become a major hurricane by early Monday.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
    from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 993 mb (29.33 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    SURF: Swells generated by Estelle are affecting portions of the
    southwestern coast of Mexico and will spread northward to the coast
    of west-central Mexico and the southern Baja California peninsula on
    Sunday and Monday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
    surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
    local weather office.
