Storm Ileana was located near latitude 19.4 North, longitude 106.9

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Slow weakening is forecast up until Ileana dissipates later today.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Ileana is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
1 to 3 inches over coastal sections of the Mexican states of
Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco...with isolated maximum amounts
of 5 inches through this afternoon.  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.
