DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Javier was
located near latitude 23.3 North, longitude 110.4 West. Javier is
moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this general
motion is expected to continue through Wednesday.  On the forecast
track, the center of Javier is expected to move near or over
Baja California Sur through Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph (75 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected during the
next couple of days, and Javier is forecast to become a remnant
low by late Wednesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Javier is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
2 to 4 inches over Baja California Sur and coastal parts of the
Mexican states of Sinaloa and southern Sonora through Thursday
morning, with possible isolated maximum amounts of 8 inches. These
rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the
tropical storm warning area over the southern portion of the Baja
California peninsula this morning.  Tropical storm conditions are
possible within the tropical storm watch area later today and
