DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Narda was
located near latitude 16.6 North, longitude 101.4 West. Narda is
moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (14 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 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some slight additional strengthening is possible during the
next 48 hours unless the center moves inland.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
coast within the warning area during the next several hours, making
outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

RAINFALL:  Narda is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
5 to 10 inches along the southwestern coast of Mexico from Oaxaca to
Nayarit, and 1 to 4 inches over Baja California Sur through Monday
night.  Isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches are possible from
Oaxaca to Nayarit.  This rainfall will cause life-threatening flash
floods and mudslides, especially in mountainous terrain.
