MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Hurricane Olaf is forecast to remain a hurricane while it moves along the southwestern coast of Mexico's Baja California Sur on Friday, although its maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 80 mph (130 km/h), the U.S.-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.

Olaf's winds have died down from a maximum of 100 mph (155 kph) when it hit land near San Jose del Cabo at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday night.
