DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Newton was
located near latitude 17.3 North, longitude 106.0 West.  Newton is
moving toward the north-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h).  A
northwestward or north-northwestward motion with an increase in
forward speed is expected later today and Tuesday.  On the forecast
track, the center of Newton will be near or over the southern tip of
the Baja California peninsula Tuesday morning.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next 36 hours or so, and
Newton could be near hurricane intensity when it approaches the
extreme southern Baja California peninsula Tuesday morning.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within
the hurricane warning area by Tuesday morning.  Winds are expected
to first reach tropical storm strength by late tonight, making
outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect
life and property should be rushed to completion.  Hurricane and
tropical storm conditions are possible within the hurricane watch
area on Tuesday.

Tropical storm conditions are expected within the tropical storm
warning area along the southwestern coast of Mexico by tonight.
Tropical storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm
watch areas on Tuesday.

RAINFALL:  Newton is expected to produce total rainfall
accumulations of 5 to 10 inches for coastal portions of the Mexican
states of Michoacan, Jalisco, Nayarit, Sinaloa, as well as the state
of Baja California Sur, with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches
through Tuesday.  These rains could produce life-threatening flash
floods and mud slides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain.

SURF:  Swells generated by Newton are expected to increase near the
coast of southwestern Mexico and the southern portion of the Baja
California peninsula during the next day or two.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.
