DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nana was located
on the coast of Belize near latitude 16.8 North, longitude 88.3
West.  Nana is moving toward the west-southwest near 16 mph (26
km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through
today.  On the forecast track, Nana will move inland over Belize and
Guatemala today.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Rapid weakening is expected today as Nana moves over land.
 
Nana is a small hurricane.  Hurricane-force winds extend outward up
to 10 miles (20 km) from the center, and tropical-storm-force winds
extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km).  A station on Carrie Bow Cay
recently reported a wind speed of 61 mph (98 km/h).
 
The minimum central pressure estimated from Air Force Hurricane
Hunter aircraft observations is 995 mb (29.38 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Hurricane conditions and tropical storm conditions will
continue in the Hurricane Warning area in Belize through early
this morning.  Tropical storm conditions are expected in the
Tropical Storm Warning area in Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico through
early this morning, with hurricane conditions possible in the
Hurricane Watch area.  Tropical storm conditions are expected in
Isla Roatan and the Bay Islands for a few more hours.  Tropical
storm conditions are possible within the watch area in Honduras.
 
STORM SURGE:  A dangerous storm surge will raise water levels by as
much as 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate
coast near and to the north of where the center has crossed
the coast.  Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large
and destructive waves.
 
RAINFALL: Nana is expected to produce the following rainfall
accumulations through Friday:
 
Northern 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 southeast portion of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo: 2 to 4
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.
