DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 300 PM CST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Xavier was
located near latitude 18.1 North, longitude 105.5 West.  Xavier is
moving toward the north near 6 mph (9 km/h).  A turn toward the
northwest and west-northwest at a similar forward speed is expected
tonight and on Monday, followed by a westward motion by Tuesday.  On
the forecast track, Xavier's center is expected to remain offshore
the coast of southwestern Mexico and begin to move farther away from
the coast tonight and on Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening is forecast during the next few days, and Xavier is
expected to degenerate into a remnant low by Tuesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  Xavier is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 1 to 3 inches over coastal sections of the Mexican states of
Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima, and Jalisco through Monday.  Isolated
maximum amounts of 4 inches are possible over Michoacan and Colima.
This rainfall may produce flooding.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area through early Monday.

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