At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Four was
located near latitude 19.9 North, longitude 94.7 West. The
depression is moving toward the west near 8 mph (13 km/h), and
this motion with a slight decrease in forward speed is expected
during the next day or two.  On the forecast track, the center of
the depression is expected to move inland over eastern Mexico on
Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some slight strengthening is expected, and the depression is
forecast to become a tropical storm tonight or early Monday.

The minimum central pressure recently reported by an Air Force
Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is 1009 mb (29.80 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

RAINFALL:  The depression is expected to produce total rainfall
accumulations of 6 to 10 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 15
inches possible in higher terrain over the Mexican states of
Veracruz, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, Hidalgo, and
northern Puebla.  These rains could cause life-threatening flash
floods and mud slides.

coast within the warning area Monday morning, making outside
