NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP132006
200 AM PDT SUN SEP 17 2006
 
LANE IS PROGRESSING INLAND AT 335/6 AND WEAKENING QUICKLY OVER THE
RUGGED TERRAIN OF WEST-CENTRAL MEXICO.  NOT MUCH DEEP CONVECTION IS
LEFT...BUT A CIRCULATION IS STILL EVIDENT IN THE LOW-LEVEL CLOUD
FIELD...AND IT IS ASSUMED THAT SOME TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE
STILL OCCURRING.  THE ADVISORY INTENSITY IS LOWERED TO 45 KT...AND
LANE IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN TO A DEPRESSION IN A FEW HOURS.  THE
CIRCULATION WILL PROBABLY DISSIPATE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. 
HOWEVER...THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME ADDITIONAL HEAVY
RAINFALL.
