Hurricane Trudy is centered near 17.5N 105.0W at 17/2100 UTC, moving northwest at 9 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 976 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 85 kt with gusts to 105 kt. Peak seas are 34 ft. Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is noted within 180 nm of the center. A general NW motion is forecast to continue through Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Trudy will pass near the coast of southwestern and west- central Mexico tonight into Sunday. Some strengthening remains possible this evening, followed by weakening beginning by Sunday. Swells generated by Trudy are affecting portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and will spread northward toward west-central Mexico through the weekend. These swells will cause life- threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. Trudy is expected to produce 4 to 8 inches with isolated higher totals around 12 inches along and near the southwest Mexican coast in Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas along steep terrain.
