DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was
located near latitude 15.7 North, longitude 101.2 West.  Ileana is
moving toward the northwest near 17 mph (28 km/h) and this general
motion is expected to continue into Wednesday.  On the forecast
track, Ileana's center is forecast to move parallel to and just
offshore of the coast of southwestern Mexico through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Strengthening is expected during the next day or so, and
Ileana is forecast to become a hurricane by Tuesday morning.
Gradual weakening is expected to begin Tuesday night, and Ileana is
forecast to dissipate by Wednesday afternoon or evening due to its
proximity to the much larger Tropical Storm or Hurricane John
located to its southwest.

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

The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Hurricane conditions are possible in the watch area tonight
and early Tuesday. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the
warning area late today through early Tuesday.  Tropical storm
conditions are possible within the watch area over southern Baja
California Sur Wednesday morning.

RAINFALL:  Ileana is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches over coastal sections of the Mexican states of
Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco, with possible isolated
maximum amounts of 6 inches through Tuesday night.  These rains may
cause flash flooding.

SURF:  Swells generated by Ileana will be affecting portions of
the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next couple of days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
