DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Marty was
located near latitude 16.2 North, longitude 101.3 West. Marty has
been nearly stationary during the past several hours. However, a
motion toward the west or west-northwest is expected to begin today
with some increase in forward speed. On the forecast track, the
center of Marty is expected to remain near but just offshore of the
southwestern coast of Mexico today.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph (75 km/h)
with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next 48
hours, and Marty is expected to weaken to a tropical depression
later today.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are likely occurring within
portions of the tropical storm warning area.  Tropical storm
conditions are possible within the watch area today.

RAINFALL:  Marty is expected to produce rainfall amounts of
5 to 10 inches over the Mexican state of Guerrero through Thursday.
Isolated amounts of 15 inches are possible are possible in Guerrero
from the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains toward the coast. These
rains are expected to produce life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain.

STORM SURGE:  A storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding
in areas of onshore flow.

SURF:  Swells generated by Marty are affecting portions of the
coast of southern Mexico.  These swells are likely to cause life-
threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
