The center of Major Hurricane Odile is rapidly approaching the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Hurricane Odile was located at latitude 22.6\u00b0N and longitude 109.6\u00b0W which put it about 30 miles southeast of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Odile was moving toward the north-northwest at 17 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 125 m.p.h. and the minimum surface pressure was estimated to be 930 mb.<\/p>\n
A Hurricane Warning has been issued for the portion of the coast from Punta Abreojos southward to the southern tip of Baja California and then northward to Loreto.\u00a0 A Hurricane Watch has been issued for the portion of the coast from Punta Abreojos northward to Punta Eugenia.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Warnings have been issued for the portion of the coast from Loreto northward to Bahia San Juan Batista and from Punta Abreojos to Punta Eugenia.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for the portion of the coast from Punta Eugenia northward to San Jose de Las Palomas and from Altata to Bahia Kino.<\/p>\n
Odile is moving more rapidly tonight and its current motion should bring the center very near the southern tip of Baja California during the next several hours.\u00a0 It looks like Odile will move very close to the west coast of the Baja peninsula.\u00a0 It could move along the coast or just offshore.\u00a0 In either case Odile will bring strong winds and heavy rain to much of southern Baja California.<\/p>\n
Odile went through an eyewall replacement cycle today.\u00a0 A larger outer eye surrounded the smaller inner eye, which eventually dissipated.\u00a0 The dissipation of the inner eye was accompanied by a minor decrease in the wind speed.\u00a0 However, the larger outer eye also had an effect of increasing the radius of strong winds and the circulation around Odile is larger than it was before.<\/p>\n
