DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Narda was
located near latitude 15.9 North, longitude 100.9 West.  Narda is
moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h).  This motion is
expected to continue over the next couple of days, bringing Narda
very near or over the southwestern coast of Mexico.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some slight strengthening is forecast during the next 48
hours.  However, if the center moves closer to the coast and
interacts with the high terrain of Mexico, weakening could occur.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
to the southeast of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).


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

RAINFALL:  The disturbance is expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 5 to 10 inches with isolated maximum amounts of
15 inches along the southwestern coast of Mexico from Oaxaca to
Nayarit through Monday.  This rainfall will cause life-threatening
flash floods and mudslides, especially in mountainous terrain.
