Elida is moving toward the north-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h), and this motion with some increase in forward speed is expected through much of the weekend. An eventual turn to the north is forecast to occur by late Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. The system is expected to begin weakening later tonight with that weakening trend forecast to continue over the next few days as the storm moves over cooler waters. Elida is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone on Monday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Elida will affect portions of the west coast of the Baja California peninsula through the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 800 PM PDT. $$ Forecaster Katz/Cangialosi
