DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Gamma was 
located near latitude 22.3 North, longitude 87.6 West. Gamma is 
drifting toward the south-southwest near 2 mph (4 km/h).  A turn 
toward the southwest or west-southwest is expected by tonight, and 
this general motion is expected to continue through Wednesday 
morning.  On the forecast track, the center of Gamma should move 
inland over the northwest coast of the Yucatan Peninsula Tuesday 
night and remain inland through Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Gradual weakening is forecast, and Gamma is expected to degenerate 
to a post-tropical remnant low on Wednesday.  Dissipation of the 
low should occur on Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).
