KRISTY WEAKENING
Hurricane Kristy Advisory Number 16 issued by National Hurricane Center 8am EDT Oct 25
KRISTY WEAKENING
At 800 AM PDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Kristy was located
near latitude 15.8 North, longitude 124.8 West. Kristy is moving
toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h). A turn toward the
northwest is expected later today, and a northwestward to
north-northwestward motion at a slower forward speed is expected
over the weekend.
Maximum sustained winds are near 125 mph (205 km/h) with higher
gusts. Kristy is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Steady to rapid weakening is expected during
the next few days, with Kristy expected to become a post-tropical
cyclone on Sunday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 952 mb (28.12 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
Swells generated by Kristy will affect portions of the west
coast of the Baja California peninsula beginning today and
continuing into 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 200 PM PDT.
