DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nana was
located near latitude 16.7 North, longitude 88.8 West. Nana is
moving toward the west-southwest near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this 
general motion is expected to continue through today with some 
decrease in forward speed.  On the forecast track, Nana will 
continue to move inland over Guatemala and extreme southeastern 
Mexico today and tonight.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h) 
with higher gusts.  Rapid weakening is forecast today and tonight, 
and Nana will likely become a remnant low on Friday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions will continue in the warning areas 
in Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico through early this morning.  
Tropical storm conditions are possible on Isla Roatan and the Bay 
Islands and along the Honduras coast within the watch area for a 
few more hours.
 
STORM SURGE:  Water levels along the Belize coast will gradually 
subside through the morning as Nana moves farther inland.
 
RAINFALL: Nana is expected to produce the following rainfall
accumulations through Friday:
 
Northwest coast of Honduras: 2 to 4 inches
 
Belize: 4 to 8 inches, isolated totals of 10 inches
 
Guatemala and the Mexican states of Chiapas and Tabasco: 3 to 6
inches, isolated totals of 8 inches
 
The eastern portions of the Mexican states of Veracruz and Oaxaca: 6
to 8 inches, isolated totals of 12 inches
 
These rainfall amounts may produce life threatening flash floods and
mudslides.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Nana are affecting the coasts of Honduras
and Belize, and the east coast of the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
