DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Two-E
was located near latitude 13.5 North, longitude 90.5 West. The
depression is moving toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h),
and a slow northward or north-northeastward motion is expected until
landfall.  On the forecast track, the center of the depression is
expected to cross the coast of Guatemala early this morning.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some strengthening is possible before landfall, and the
system could become a tropical storm later this morning.  Rapid
weakening is expected after landfall, and the cyclone is likely to
dissipate over the mountains of Central America later today or
Monday.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL:  The depression is expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 10 to 15 inches over El Salvador, southern
Guatemala, and western Honduras, and 5 to 10 inches over northwest
Nicaragua, Belize, and the Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco,
Veracruz, and Oaxaca.  Isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches are
possible in El Salvador and southern Guatemala.  This rainfall may
produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.

area this morning.
