DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the disturbance was centered near
latitude 14.9 North, longitude 100.4 West. The system is moving
toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this motion is
expected to continue during the next couple of days. This track
should bring the disturbance or the cyclone very near or over the
southwestern coast of Mexico.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the
disturbance is expected to become a tropical storm later today or
Sunday.  However, if the center forms closer to the coast and
interacts with the high terrain of Mexico, weakening should then
occur.

The disturbance is becoming better organized, and a tropical
depression or a tropical storm is forecast to form later today or
Sunday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
coast within the warning area by later tonight or early Sunday,
making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

RAINFALL:  The disturbance is expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 3 to 7 inches with isolated maximum amounts of
15 inches along the southwestern coast of Mexico from Chiapas to
Nayarit through Monday. This rainfall may cause life-threatening
flash floods and mudslides, especially in mountainous terrain.
