DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Four-E
was located near latitude 15.4 North, longitude 100.3 West. The
depression is nearly stationary off the southern coast of Mexico,
and it is expected to meander for the next couple of days,
eventually drifting northward toward the coast over the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some strengthening is forecast during the next day or two,
and the system is expected to be a tropical storm when it approaches
Mexico.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  The depression is forecast to produce 4 to 6 inches of
rainfall along the Guerrero coast, including the city of Acapulco,
with isolated higher amounts approaching 8 inches possible.  These
rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.
Farther inland across the state of Guerrero, rainfall amounts of 1
to 2 inches with isolated amounts of 4 inches are forecast.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area on Saturday.

SURF:  Swells generated by the depression are affecting portions of
the coast of southern Mexico.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
