DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Nineteen-E was located near latitude 27.3 North, longitude 110.5
West. The depression is moving toward the north-northeast near 7 mph
(11 km/h), and this motion should take the depression inland over
northwestern Mexico overnight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts.
The depression is expected to dissipate on Thursday.

The minimum central pressure of 1002 mb (29.59 inches) is based on
nearby surface observations.


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  The depression is expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 5 to 10 inches in the Mexican states of Sonora and
northern Sinaloa, and 2 to 4 inches in Baja California Sur and
western Chihuahua. Isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches are
possible in Sonora and northern Sinaloa. This rainfall may cause
life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides.

Moisture associated with the depression and eventually its remnants
will also lead to areas of heavy rain and a heightened risk of
flash flooding in the southwestern United States tonight and
Thursday, and in the southern Plains beginning on Friday.
