DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hanna was
located near latitude 26.2 North, longitude 91.4 West.  Hanna is
moving toward the west-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h) and a 
west-northwestward to westward motion is expected during the
next couple of days.  On the forecast track, the center of the
storm is expected to move across the northwestern Gulf of
Mexico on Friday and make landfall along the Texas coast on
Saturday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Additional strengthening is expected until the system makes 
landfall.  Steady weakening is expected after Hanna moves inland.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Tropical Storm Hanna can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO
header WTNT43 KNHC.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area
by Friday night or Saturday morning.  Tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area by Friday night or Saturday morning.
 
RAINFALL: Hanna is expected to produce 3 to 5 inches of rain with
isolated maximum totals of 10 inches through Monday along the Gulf
Coast of the United States from Louisiana to south Texas, and inland
to the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and northern
Tamaulipas.  This rain may result in life-threatening flash
flooding, rapid rises on small streams, and isolated minor to
moderate river flooding.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Hanna are expected to increase and affect
much of the Texas and Louisiana coasts 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.
