DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bonnie was
located near latitude 11.0 North, longitude 83.1 West. Bonnie is
moving toward the west near 17 mph (28 km/h) and a continued
westward motion with a gradual decrease in forward speed is expected
through Saturday night.  A west-northwestward motion is expected to
begin on Sunday and continue into Monday.  On the forecast track,
the system will make landfall near the border of Nicaragua and 
Costa Rica in the next few hours, move across southern Nicaragua 
and northern Costa Rica tonight, and emerge over the eastern 
Pacific Ocean on Saturday. The system will then move offshore of 
but parallel to the coasts of El Salvador, Guatemala, and southern 
Mexico Saturday through Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Some strengthening is possible before landfall. After 
landfall, short term weakening is likely, but Bonnie is expected to 
restrengthen later this weekend and early next week over the 
eastern Pacific.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
from the center.

The minimum central pressure estimated from Air Force Reserve 
Hurricane Hunter aircraft data is 999 mb (29.50 inches).
