Simon is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson \nHurricane Wind Scale. While some slight weakening could occur, Simon \nis still forecast to move near or over the coast of west-central \nMexico as a major hurricane today. Rapid weakening could occur if \nthe core of Simon moves fully onshore.\n \nHurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from\nthe center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90\nmiles (150 km).\n \nThe estimated minimum central pressure is 933 mb (27.55 inches).\n \n \nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\n----------------------\nKey messages for Simon can be found in the Tropical Cyclone\nDiscussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5 and WMO header WTPZ45 KNHC.\n \nWIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the southern part of the\nHurricane Warning area beginning soon, with tropical storm\nconditions spreading northward today.
