At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Gamma
was located near latitude 22.1 North, longitude 88.1 West.  The
depression is moving toward the southwest near 5 mph (7 km/h), and 
a southwest, or west-southwest motion is expected to continue 
through Wednesday morning.  On the forecast track, the center of 
the depression should move inland over the northwest coast of the 
Yucatan peninsula Tuesday and remain over the northern portion of 
the peninsula and dissipate Wednesday. 

Maximum sustained winds have decreased near 35 mph (55 km/h) with 
higher gusts.  Gradual weakening is forecast, and Gamma is
expected degenerate to a post-tropical remnant low tonight and 
dissipate over the northern portion of the Yucatan peninsula 
Wednesday.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).
