DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Aletta was
located near latitude 15.9 North, longitude 114.3 West.  Aletta is
moving toward the west near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this general motion
is expected to continue through late Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional rapid weakening is forecast, and Aletta
is likely to degenerate into a remnant low Sunday or Sunday night.

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

The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 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.
