A watch is typically issued 48 hours\nbefore the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force\nwinds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or\ndangerous.\n \nFor storm information specific to your area, please monitor\nproducts issued by your national meteorological service.\n \n \nDISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK\n----------------------\nAt 200 AM MST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Polo was located \nnear latitude 17.6 North, longitude 111.0 West. Polo is moving \ntoward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h). A gradual turn \ntoward the northwest is expected late today and toward the north on \nSunday. By Monday, Polo is forecast to turn northeastward and \napproach Baja California Sur.\n \nSatellite images indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 165 \nmph (270 km/h) with higher gusts.  Polo is an extremely dangerous \ncategory 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. \nFluctuations in intensity are possible today. Slow weakening is \nexpected to begin tonight, but Polo is expected to remain a powerful \nhurricane as it approaches Baja California Sur on Monday.\n \nHurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the\ncenter and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles\n(205 km).\n \nThe estimated minimum central pressure is 917 mb (27.08 inches).\n \n \nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\n----------------------\nKey messages for Polo can be found in the Tropical Cyclone\nDiscussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP2 and WMO header WTPZ42 KNHC.\n \nWIND: Hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area by\nMonday afternoon, with tropical storm conditions possible in the\nsouthern portion of the watch area by Sunday night into early\nMonday. These conditions are expected to spread northward during the\nday on Monday.\n \nRAINFALL: Polo is expected to produce rainfall totals of 4 to 8\ninches with maximum amounts of 10 inches across portions of Baja\nCalifornia Sur. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding\nand mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain.\n \nFor a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Polo,\nplease see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic\navailable at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep2.shtml?rainqpf\n \nSURGE: A storm surge could produce significant coastal flooding in\nareas of onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be\naccompanied by large and destructive waves.\n \nSURF: Swells generated by Polo will continue affecting the coast of\nsouthwestern Mexico during the next couple of days. Swells will also\nspread northward along the coast of west-central Mexico and the Baja\nCalifornia Peninsula through the weekend. These swells are likely\nto cause life-threatening surf, rip currents, and coastal flooding.\nPlease consult products from your local weather office.\n \n \nNEXT ADVISORY\n-------------\nNext intermediate advisory at 500 AM MST.\nNext complete advisory at 800 AM MST.\n \n"}
