DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Marty
was located near latitude 16.1 North, longitude 102.0 West. The
depression is moving toward the west near 5 mph (7 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue for the next day or two. On
this track, the depression will gradually move away from the coast
of Mexico.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h)
with higher gusts. The depression is forecast to weaken to a
remnant low later today or Thursday.

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


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Marty is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 5 to 10
inches over the Mexican state of Guerrero through Thursday. Isolated
amounts of 15 inches are possible are possible in Guerrero from the
Sierra Madre del Sur mountains toward the coast. These rains are
expected to produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides,
especially in areas of mountainous terrain.

SURF:  Swells generated by Marty are still affecting portions of the
coast of southern Mexico. These swells will soon begin to subside,
but are still likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
