DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Aletta was
located near latitude 16.0 North, longitude 114.5 West.  Aletta is
moving toward the west near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this general motion
is expected to continue through late Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast, and Aletta could
degenerate into a remnant low withing the next day or so.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.

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


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Aletta will affect portions of the coast
of west-central mainland Mexico and the west coast of Baja
California Sur through the weekend.  Swells are expected to build
even higher along these areas early next week due to Tropical Storm
Bud to the east of Aletta.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.


NEXT ADVISORY

Next complete advisory at 900 AM MDT.
