DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Narda
was located near latitude 21.5 North, longitude 106.4 West.  The
depression is moving toward the northwest near 17 mph (28 km/h), and
this general motion is expected to continue with some decrease in
forward speed during the next couple of days.  On the forecast
track, the center of Narda will move over the Gulf of California
near or just offshore the coast of northwestern mainland Mexico
through Tuesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some slight strengthening is forecast, and Narda is expected to
become a tropical storm again later this morning.

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


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions should spread northward over the
Tropical Storm Warning area today and Tuesday.

RAINFALL:  Narda is expected to produce the following rainfall
accumulations through Tuesday:

Jalisco, Nayarit, Sinaloa...Additional 3 to 6 inches, isolated storm
totals 10 to 15 inches.

Colima, Michoacan, Guerrero...Additional 1 to 4 inches, isolated
storm totals 10 inches.

Baja California Sur, Sonora...1 to 2 inches.

This rainfall will cause life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides, especially in mountainous terrain.

SURF:  Swells generated by Narda are affecting portions of the coast
of southwestern Mexico.  These swells are expected to spread
northward and will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions along the west coast of mainland Mexico, along
the east coast of Baja California Sur, and in the Islas Marias
archipelago.  Please consult products from your local weather
office.
