DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 900 AM CST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Vance was located
near latitude 12.9 North, longitude 103.0 West. Vance is moving
toward the north-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h), and a slow motion

gusts. Gradual weakening is expected through Sunday. Some
re-intensification will be possible beginning Sunday night or
Monday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the

(240 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Through next Thursday, Vance is expected to produce 3 to 6
inches with isolated higher totals around 10 inches across Colima
and western portions of Michoacn and Jalisco. This rainfall may
produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas
along steep terrain.

SURF: Swells generated by Vance will affect portions of the coast
of southern and southwestern Mexico this weekend and continue into
next week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.
