DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lorena was
located near latitude 14.6 North, longitude 101.3 West. The
tropical storm is moving toward the northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h).
A slower northwestward motion is expected during the next couple of
days. Lorena is forecast to move over or very near the southwestern
coast of Mexico late Wednesday or early Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with
higher gusts. Additional gradual strengthening is forecast during
the next couple of days as Lorena approaches the coast of Mexico.

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

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within the southern
portion of the watch area by late Wednesday or early Thursday and
could then spread northward along the coast through late Thursday.

RAINFALL:  Lorena is expected to produce total rainfall
accumulations of 3 to 6 inches with maximum amounts of 10 inches
along the coastal sections of the Mexican states of Guerrero,
Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco.  This rainfall may produce life-
threatening flash floods and mudslides.

SURF:  Swells generated by Lorena will affect portions of the
southwest coast of 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.
