DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Carlos was located near latitude 14.9 North, longitude 100.2 West. Carlos is moving toward the northwest near 2 mph (4 km/h) and this motion, with an increase in forward speed, is expected over the next day or two. Carlos is expected to move nearly parallel to the coast for the next couple of days. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Carlos is the third hurricane of the 2015 eastern Pacific season. Some increase in strength is forecast over the next couple of days. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area by tonight or Sunday.

RAINFALL: Carlos is expected to produce 2-4 inches of rain across the southwestern coast of Mexico through Tuesday with locally higher amounts around 6 inches. The states of Mexico affected include Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco. These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of higher terrain. SURF: Swells associated with Carlos will affect the coast of southern Mexico during the next few days. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 100 PM CDT. Next complete advisory at 400 PM CDT. $$ Forecaster Blake
