The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches).

Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP1 and WMO header WTPZ41 KNHC.

WIND: Gusty winds will be possible along the west coast of Baja
California Sur today.

RAINFALL:  As Priscilla moves off the west coast of Baja California,
up to an inch of rain is expected across the Baja California
peninsula.  For the southwestern United States, 2 to 4 inches of
rain, with local storm total maxima to 6 inches, are expected across
portions of central and northern Arizona, southern Utah, and
southwest Colorado through Saturday.  Flash flooding is likely in
portions of central Arizona, with scattered areas of flash flooding

Colorado, and far northwest New Mexico.

SURF: Large swells generated by Priscilla are affecting the Pacific
coast of Baja California Sur as well as portions of coastal
southwestern and west-central Mexico.  These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions, in addition
to some coastal flooding. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
