DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 300 PM MDT (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Newton
was located over southeastern Arizona near latitude 31.6 North,
longitude 111.2 West.  The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward
the north-northeast near 18 mph (30 km/h).  A turn toward the
northeast is expected before the remnant low dissipates.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast, and the remnant low
is expected to dissipate by late tonight.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Gusts to tropical storm force are still possible over
portions of southeastern Arizona through this evening, especially in
areas of high terrain.  Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides
of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the
near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated
locations could be even greater.

RAINFALL:  Newton is expected to produce additional rain
accumulations of 1 to 2 inches across portions of southeastern
Arizona and southwestern New Mexico through tonight.  Locally higher
amounts up to 3 inches will be possible over higher terrain.
