DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1200 PM MDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Newton was located near latitude 19.6 North, longitude 107.6 West. Newton is moving toward the northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through early Tuesday. A turn toward the north-northwest, and then to the north, is expected late Tuesday and Wednesday. On the forecast track, Newton should be near or over the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula on Tuesday morning, and move over portions of the southern Baja California peninsula late Tuesday and Wednesday. Satellite data indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph (105 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is likely, and Newton is forecast to become a hurricane by Tuesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km) from the center, primarily to the east of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 989 mb (29.21 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: For the Baja California peninsula, hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within the hurricane warning area early Tuesday morning. Winds are expected to first reach tropical storm strength by late tonight, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. Hurricane and tropical storm conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area later on Tuesday. For the Mexican mainland, tropical storm conditions are occurring from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes today. Farther northward, tropical storm conditions are expected over northwestern Mexico beginning Tuesday morning, and these conditions will gradually spread northward throughout the day. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch areas in Sinaloa early Tuesday. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch in Sonora by early Wednesday. RAINFALL: Newton is expected to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches for coastal portions of the Mexican states of Michoacan, Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, Sinaloa, as well as much of the state of Baja California Sur, with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches through Tuesday night. These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain. Rainfall amounts of up to 2 inches are expected across portions of southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico from late Wednesday into Thursday, with localized amounts of up to 3 inches possible. These rains could result in flash flooding. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding near and to the east of where the center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Large swells generated by Newton are expected to affect the coast of southwestern Mexico through Tuesday, and begin to subside on Wednesday. Swells should increase across the southern and central portions of the Baja California peninsula today and Tuesday. 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 300 PM MDT. $$ Forecaster Kimberlain
