DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was
located near latitude 17.0 North, longitude 103.3 West.  Ileana is
moving toward the northwest near 17 mph (28 km/h).  A
west-northwestward motion is expected through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Ileana is forecast to weaken due to the influence of the
much larger circulation of John to the southwest, and to dissipate
by late Tuesday.

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

The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of the
warning area through early Tuesday.

RAINFALL:  Ileana is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches over coastal sections of the Mexican states of
Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco, with possible isolated
maximum amounts of 6 inches through Tuesday night.  These rains may
cause flash flooding.

SURF:  Swells generated by Ileana will be affecting portions of
the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next couple of days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
