Hurricane Lane starting to lose steam 18 (UPI) -- Hurricane Lane, moving well off Mexico's western coast, should lose its punch and become a remnant low in a few days, U.S. forecasters said Tuesday. Lane, a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, was 1,180 miles west of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving north-northwest at 9 mph, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said in its 5 a.m. Forecasters said Lane should turn gradually toward the northwest and west during the next 48 hours. Lane also was expected to weaken and become a remnant low in a couple of days, the hurricane center said. Hurricane force winds extended outward from Lane's center up to 15 miles, while tropical storm force winds extended outward up to 80 miles.
